The investigation began on June 24 after an Oakdale resident was notified by a neighbor that someone had just stolen his side by side. An ATV, a second side by side and a dirt bike were also reported missing from the residence.

The owner and neighbor pursued the stolen side by side in an attempt to stop them. During the chase, shots were fired by the suspects causing the owner to stand down and await the arrival of law enforcement.

With the assistance of home surveillance systems, the owners and Crime Stoppers, all items were recovered the same day. Through further investigation, detectives were able to identify the suspects.

The Oakdale Police Department, the Ward Five Marshal’s Office and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the arrest of the suspects.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or any other crime is encouraged to contact the Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-639-4353 or Crime Stoppers at 337-389-7001.
