Corey Campbell, 38, of Violet, booked with numerous burglaries, a theft and access card fraud

Numerous crimes including 13 vehicle burglaries, two house burglaries, debit card fraud and a theft stretching back to December of last year, have been cleared with the arrest of a Violet man who was on probation from a previous burglary, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Corey Campbell, 38, 3309 Angelique Drive, is being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison in lieu of bond set at $125,000.

Campbell, arrested April 4 by sheriff’s detectives commanded by Maj. Robert McNab, admitted to many of the crimes under questioning, the sheriff said. As well as the burglary, theft and access card fraud charges he was booked with, Campbell also has a probation violation hold from a previous arrest in which he was on probation for burglary.

Sheriff’s detectives had been seeking information on numerous vehicle burglaries in the parish over a period of time which fit a pattern of windows smashed to gain entry, with items inside stolen. Sheriff Pohlmann said.

But a theft of a purse at a business last month led authorities to identify Campbell as trying to use a debit card that was in the purse, the sheriff said.

He also said additional information developed also led to Campbell, including finding a food stamp card stolen last December in trash at his residence.
