Three Booked In Burglaries On The West Bank

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office has arrested three men in connection with a string of apparently random aggravated burglaries and shootings on the West Bank overnight.

Austin Lowery, 18, of 247 Marmandie St. in River Ridge, Kevin Mayon, 20, of 713 Avenue F in Westwego and Sylvester Parra, 18, of 164 Columbus St. in New Orleans were booked with two counts of aggravated burglary, three counts of attempted murder, two counts of attempted aggravated burglary and one count of aggravated battery in connection with the shooting of three men, the pistol-whipping of another and the burglary or attempted burglary of four residences. All three men are being held in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center without bond.

*Note: Random burglaries are hard to predict. The best solution would be to establish a neighborhood watch program.
