The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s assistance in two shoplifting cases.
Sheriff Daniel Edwards says detectives are investigating a shoplifting at the Tractor Supply in Hammond, along with the Dollar General in Robert.
In the Dollar General case, a black male entered the store on December 7, 2023 shortly after 11:00 AM and gathered various items from around the store and placed them into a shopping cart. The subject exited the store via the rear receiving door, failing to pay for any of the merchandise. The subject then left in a black older model four-door car with dark windows. The subject was seen wearing a camouflage jacket, gray sweatpants and a dark blue hat. The same suspect description was also provided to investigators on numerous other shoplifting cases, and is believed to be the same person.
In the Tractor Supply case, a black male entered the store on December 10, 2023 around 5:00 PM and grabbed two large items from the shelf. One item taken was a 2000 watt inverter and the other was a DeWalt 20V Max 5-tool combo kit. The subject then left the store, passing all points of sale, and left in a gold van (unknown make or model). The subject was seen wearing a gray jacket with black shirt and pants.
Sheriff Edwards asks anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects in either case to contact Detective Earl McFarland at 985-902-2043, OR Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous.
