Three are in custody and another is sought by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office in connection with the alleged theft of an all-terrain vehicle and utility trailer in Leeville.
On July 22 at around 8:40 p.m., LPSOP deputies responded to a theft complaint at a residence located along La. High way 1 in Leeville.
Upon arrival, deputies learned that the resident had returned home and discovered that his utility trailer and ATV had been stolen.
