Suspects allegedly involved in a rash of vehicle burglaries in Vermilion Parish have been arrested.
According to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Eddie Langlinais, on the morning of May 15, 2021, Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to several vehicle burglaries in multiple locations across Vermilion Parish. Also stolen during these burglaries was a 2013 Ford F-250 Platinum Edition.
After a week-long investigation, Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Detectives were able to identify one of the five individuals involved as Coreiana Jazznay Jones, 20. An arrest warrant was obtained for nine counts of Principal to Simple Burglary and one count of Principal to Theft of a Motor Vehicle.
With the assistance of the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office, the arrest warrant was executed on the 700 block of Bonin Road, Lafayette. During the execution of the arrest warrant, Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Detectives, along with members of the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office S.W.A.T. team, identified a second suspect involved in the rash of vehicle burglaries and theft of a vehicle known as Kentrell J.

Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office S.W.A.T. applied for and obtained a search warrant for the residence.
A search was conducted where six firearms, large and small caliber ammunition along with high round magazines, a large amount of high-grade marijuana, and drug paraphernalia were located. Two of those firearms were confirmed stolen and one was identified as illegally modified.
