JEFFERSON PARISH, La. — Police are searching for three suspects they believe are part of a larger group of people stealing cars and guns in Jefferson Parish and New Orleans.
According to JPSO, James Elphage, 21, Maliek Hundley, 19, and Jermone Brown, 20, are all wanted for multiple counts of vehicle burglary.
All three men are from New Orleans and are accused of breaking into multiple cars near the Orleans-Jefferson Parish line. According to police, the suspects are stealing cars and firearms to be used in other crimes.
Police say they are likely armed during these burglaries and will have a lookout watching.
Police are also working to identify more suspects caught on camera that may be connected to Elphage, Hundley and Brown. They're wanted for vehicle burglaries on Oakridge Parkways, Hector Avenue and Iona Street.
