With incidents occurring across several neighborhoods, Thomasville police are urging residents to take extra precautions. Officials remind the public to lock their vehicles at all times—even when parked at home—and to remove or hide valuables that could entice thieves.
Inva Jenkins, an 11th-grade student, also received a monumental honor. She was selected as the winner of the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for North Carolina’s 6th District. Her stunning pencil drawing, a detailed portrait titled "JFK," was chosen by a panel of judges composed of local leaders. As the winner, Jenkins was awarded two airplane tickets to attend a weekend of events in Washington D.C., courtesy of Southwest Airlines. In the nation's capital, she was greeted by Congressman Addison McDowell and given a tour of the grounds. Her drawing will now hang in the United States Capitol for one year, alongside the winning pieces from congressional districts all over the country.
