At least two men are believed responsible for several break-ins recently on Karen, Despeaux and Jacob drives in Chalmette and one of the men is seen clearly on a surveillance system at one home.
Anyone with information should call the Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111. They could be eligible for a reward if their tip leads to an arrest.
Sheriff Pohlmann said the man shown on camera is pulling on the doors of vehicles to see if they are unlocked and burglarized several that weren’t.
“Please remember to lock your cars and trucks because most vehicle burglaries we see involve ones that were left open,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said. “I know if you are trying to get children inside or unloading packages or grocery bags it’s easy to forget to lock up. But it decreases your chance of being a victim if you lock it.
“Criminals are usually looking to steal something quickly with as little trouble as possible,’’ the sheriff said. “They don’t want to be slowed down by having to break into a vehicle and risk that shattering glass or creating other noise will bring attention to them. They generally move on if doors aren’t open.’’
