The Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) responded to numerous calls for service within the town limits of Homer on Dec. 15. During the early morning hours, it is believed that a group of individuals conspired together to commit a string of felony offenses within Homer.

CPSO deputies responded to four separate calls of stolen vehicles, and an attempted burglary of a local business within Homer. Subsequent investigations by CPSO deputies revealed that four vehicles, one side by side ATV, utility trailer, two firearms, and various other items had been taken during the string of thefts.

CPSO deputies were able to recover all four of the stolen vehicles, the utility trailer, the side by side, later that same morning.

Subsequent investigations resulted in one of the firearms having been recovered by CPSO deputies. Additional stolen items have yet to be recovered. The investigation is ongoing and arrests are anticipated.

Claiborne Parish Sheriff Sam Dowies would like to request assistance from members of the Homer community. Sheriff Dowies’ deputies have obtained video footage of the suspected group of individuals believed to be responsible for the multiple thefts. CPSO needs assistance with identifying the individuals believed to be involved with the thefts.

Sheriff Dowies requests that anyone with information on the above-described thefts/suspects contact the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office at (318) 927-2011. All information will remain anonymous.

Sheriff Dowies believes that community involvement and law enforcement efforts help make Claiborne Parish a safer place.
