A Chalmette man has been booked with four residence burglaries committed in the past few weeks and most of the property stolen has been recovered and returned to the owners, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Detectives were also able to identify a vehicle used by Pichon as having been on the scene of several house burglaries.

Stolen property was also found at his home, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

Pichon was also booked with three counts of possession of stolen property.

He was being held in St. Bernard Parish Prison in lieu of bond set at $85,000.
