Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre is thanking the public after a public tip submitted to Bayou Region Crime Stoppers led to the arrest of a 20-year-old Thibodaux man for a string of vehicle burglaries in Raceland.

On Oct. 19, 2018, LPSO detectives began investigating a string of burglaries and attempted burglaries of vehicles along Aspen Drive and Elm Drive in Raceland.

A male suspect was caught on surveillance cameras burglarizing or attempting to burglarize vehicles in the area and in all, detectives found evidence that the suspect had entered six vehicles to steal items, while attempting to break into four others that were locked. 


On Oct. 23, LSPO released that surveillance video and images of the suspect to the public.

Several anonymous tips were sent to Bayou Region Crime Stoppers, which identified the man in the footage as Tyler Holmes, 20, of Thibodaux. 

After confirming the identity with multiple sources, LPSO obtained a warrant for his arrest. 


On Nov. 14, detectives made contact with Holmes and arrested him on six counts of simple burglary and four counts of attempted simple burglary. Bond is set at $80,000.
