DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (BRPROUD) — A recent investigation into vehicle burglaries by the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office ended with three arrests.

LPSO said there were multiple vehicle burglaries and two stolen vehicles reported over the last two weeks at the Parc at Denham Springs Apartments.

Deputies located one of the vehicles in St. John Parish and another was found flipped over in Juban Crossing Shopping Center, Sheriff Jason Ard said.

“As for how that stolen vehicle ended up upside down, this is the result of doing donuts in a vehicle that is not yours. Don’t do that,” Ard said.

LPSO said stolen property from the vehicle burglaries was recovered.
