Teens arrested for possible vehicle burglaries in Vermilion Parish
According to Sheriff Mike Couvillon, in the early morning hours on Monday, patrol deputies responded to a complaint of a vehicle burglary in progress in a subdivision near the Abbeville Airport.
The investigation led deputies, VPSO K9, Criminal Investigations Division and Narcotics investigators to a nearby motel where numerous juveniles and two adults were detained.
During initial interviews, it was determined that two of the three juveniles were the suspects in the attempted burglary.
It was also determined that sexual activity had taken place between an adult and a juvenile victim within the group. Illicit drugs were also found during the investigation along with several stolen firearms.
The investigation resulted in an arrest warrant being obtained for Jacorlin Levy (B/M, D.O.B. 09-16-2003) from Opelousas, for one count of Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile and one count of Indecent Behavior of a Juvenile.
The bond has been set at $15,000.
The three male juveniles were also arrested for Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm, two of which were also charged with two counts of simple burglary. They were subsequently released to the custody of their parents.
A 16-year-old female was also arrested on a verified complaint out of Lafayette and turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
The investigation is on-going with further charges pending.
