St. Landry Deputies Searching for Burglary Suspect

The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Department is asking for our help in identifying a burglary suspect. The suspect in question could also be involved in a similar break-in reported in Washington.

According to St. Landry S.O. the attempted burglary took place about 4:30 on Sunday morning. The suspect broke the window of the Nuba Fast Food Store on LA 182.  According to police reports the suspect did not gain entry into the building.
