Sheriff’s Office asking for help identifying people who went on a spree of damaging 7 parked vehicles by throwing stolen ceramic items and bricks at them

One of more people went on a spree of damaging seven parked vehicles in an area of Chalmette early Tuesday morning by throwing stolen ceramic items and bricks at them, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

“These were pointless crimes of opportunity,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said, adding that the only aim seemed to be to vandalize parked vehicles.

The sheriff is asking for the public’s help in identifying anyone involved in the incidents or giving a possible description of a vehicle involved. If you have information, call the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501.

Nothing was apparently stolen from the vehicles that were damaged on Imperial Drive, Kings Drive, Patricia Street and Hamlet Street. Most were parked on Kings Drive.

Some vehicles had windshields or windows broken out and some had less damage.

All were damaged by thrown ceramic items or bricks that were traced to two thefts early Tuesday morning from the front of two Chalmette residences, on Benjamin Street and Shangri-La Drive, the sheriff said.
