In the early hours of Monday morning, November 20, 2023, law enforcement officers in Southeast Paris responded to a series of Burglaries of Vehicles near the intersection of SE 24th and Hubbard Streets.
One victim reported a significant loss as a Smith & Wesson M&P .40 Caliber semi-automatic, black-in-color handgun was stolen from their vehicle. Authorities have heightened concerns due to the nature of the stolen item.
Video surveillance footage from the area has aided investigators in identifying at least three individuals involved in the incidents. The individuals, believed to be juveniles, were seen wearing hoodies during the alleged criminal activity.
Given the coordinated efforts of the suspects, Paris Police officials are now treating the case as an offense of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity.
