ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) — Elmira Police confirmed that a body was found back behind the Dollar Tree in the old Tops plaza over the weekend.

Police told 18 News that the body of a homeless individual was found in an encampment in the back behind the store. The location is densely wooded, with brush and trees covering much of the area behind the Dollar Tree.
