LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — A Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office employee helped solve a crime while off the clock, authorities said.
The sheriff’s office received a report Aug. 23 of a stolen trailer carrying several pieces of lumber taken from the 300 block of Sidney Martin Road in Lafayette.
The property has been returned to its owner after an off-duty Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office Real Time Crime Center Agent located the stolen items on his way home from work, officials said.
The trailer and its contents, valued at about $7,500, were confirmed to be those items involved in the theft. One suspect was identified and located by patrol deputies.
