The St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office has arrested two juveniles and issued arrest warrants for a third in connection with three residential burglaries that occurred last month in the Lacombe and Mandeville areas. On Jan. 17 a residence on North Pontchartrain Drive in Lacombe was burglarized and on the following day a residence on Soult Street in Mandeville and a residence on Lucille Drive Canal in Lacombe were both burglarized. In all three cases the juveniles were armed and forced entry into unoccupied residences. They focused on stealing jewelry and firearms. Last week detectives conducted a search warrant on a vehicle and a residence in the Lacombe area and also recovered stolen property at a residence in the Lee Road area. A 17 year-old from Lacombe was arrested Jan. 30 for one count of Simple Burglary. He was released into the custody an adult family member. Jordan Preston of Mandeville was booked that same day into the St. Tammany Parish Jail on one count of Aggravated Burglary and two counts of Theft of Firearms. In addition to those arrests, arrest warrants have also been issued for a 16-year-old on multiple charges. Anyone having information about these cases, is asked to please contact the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office Property Crimes Division at (985) 276-1320.
