A suspect connected to a series of package thefts across multiple neighborhoods has been identified and taken into custody, according to the Shreveport Police Department.

Detectives began investigating several reports of stolen deliveries that occurred March 17–18. Authorities said the incidents involved a repeat offender targeting front porches and taking packages in broad daylight.

Through the use of home security footage and tips from the public, investigators identified the suspect as Wesley Carl Blevins, 39.

Detectives obtained warrants for five counts of theft of a package. With assistance from the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office, Blevins was located and arrested while asleep in the same vehicle believed to have been used during the crimes.

Officials said Blevins is also facing additional narcotics-related charges in DeSoto Parish. He is currently awaiting extradition back to Caddo Parish.

Authorities remind residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, noting that theft investigations often rely on community cooperation and surveillance footage.
