Two adult teen-age males were arrested for a Chalmette home burglary in which a $5,000 ring and other items were recovered and one has confessed to a burglary in Algiers in which stolen property was recovered, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Peyton Teal of Arabi, and Arthur Reddick of Pointe a la Hache, both 18, have been booked with burglary of an inhabited dwelling, possession of stolen property and criminal damage for destroying a door they kicked in to burglarize a home on Lyndel Drive in Chalmette on Sept.7, the sheriff said.

They were arrested on Sept. 8 after an investigation by sheriff’s detectives led to them and the recovery of the $5,000 ring, other jewelry and a gaming system all stolen in the Lyndel burglary.

Both Reddick and Teal have confessed to the Chalmette burglary and Teal, interviewed on Friday by New Orleans police detectives, confessed to a recent burglary in Algiers in which a big-screen television and numerous computer tablets were recovered during a search of Teal’s vehicle after a warrant was obtained from a judge, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

The two suspects are being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison in lieu of bonds set at $17,500 each.

Detectives found the ring and other items in a pawn shop and they were identified by the burglary victim, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

A warrant was issued by a judge for the arrest of Reddick, who pawned the items, and it was learned another man, unidentified, was with him at the time.

Later, detectives received information the second man, who turned out to be Teal, was again at the pawn shop on Thursday. Sheriff’s deputies arrested Teal and he confessed to the Chalmette burglary in an interview with detectives, the sheriff said.

While detectives were still interviewing Teal, it was learned Reddick who hadn’t been found on the warrant issued for his arrest, had also returned to the pawn shop in an attempt to pawn another ring, the sheriff said. Reddick was arrested there. The ring he had the seconf time hasn’t been tied to any thefts or burglaries but an investigation is continuing.

Reddick has denied taking part in the Algiers burglary which teal confessed to but New Orleans police are investigating.
