On October 3rd, 2021, deputies responded to a report of theft of a four wheeler along with other miscellaneous items which occurred on Ed Miller Road in the Calcasieu Community. Deputies took the initial report and Detectives from the Glenmora Sub-station were assigned to investigate the theft.
During the course of their investigation, detectives learned the four wheeler was possibly seen in Pitkin, LA area.
