PARADIS, La. — A man suspected of going on a monthlong robbery spree and robbing more than five locations has been arrested by the St. Charles Sheriff's office.
33-year-old Kyle David Cowart of Allemands was arrested on July 7, but his alleged string of robberies dates back to early June.
On June 6, Cowart allegedly robbed a barn and stole items including two four-wheelers and three welding machines on the Old Spanish Trail in Paradis.

On June 22, video footage allegedly showed Cowart disconnecting a surveillance camera from a business near Highway 90 that was burglarized and had property stolen from it later that night.
That same day, Cowart is supposedly seen on video at a different location in Luling tampering with surveillance cameras at a business where tools were taken.
On July 6, Cowart allegedly stole various items including two oxygen tanks, parts for a bobcat, and a white Ford F-250 from a location off of the Airline Highway in St. Rose.
