Carjacking

Two men were arrested just across the state line following a carjacking and robbery in Ville Platte Saturday night.

The car was commandeered near the intersection of Pinhook and the Evangeline Thruway.

Michael Davis and his disabled veteran brother were at a car wash in Shreveport when suddenly, a robber pointed a gun at Davis demanding his money and his car. The quick-thinking Davis defended himself with what was available - the pressure washer currently in his hands, and it was all captured on dash cam.

Police say a teenager took off in a car.

Police launch a multi-agency investigation into the deceased suspect's strange crime spree.

The victim, who received a cut on her neck, is listed in stable condition at a local hospital.

When officers stopped the vehicle three men ran from the vehicle.

Last week the victim's car was found in Cottonport.

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office, along with help from the Franklin Police Department, set up a perimeter in that area, and they were able to arrest 29-year-old Irving Phillips Jr. in a home on Lee Charles Street.

An 18-year-old Scott man was arrested Wednesday night after a failed carjacking attempt.

Deputies say they have several suspects in custody at this time, but because of the ages of those involved, they will not give any additional information out about the suspects.

The man driving the car at the time was 20-year-old David Fontenot, and police say this is the man who allegedly stole the car from the women.

Police says that 31-year-old Justin Reed Seawright was found by authorities last week at a motel in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and he was brought back to Lafayette early Monday.

Detectives say that they believe Seawright used the white Mazda Tribute he stole from the grocery store parking lot to make his getaway after robbing the bank.

Around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Lafayette Police say a woman was carjacked in a parking lot in the 2800 block of Ambassador Caffery.

A man is accused of stealing a woman's 2001 Jeep Cherokee on Christmas.

Another carjacking suspect in Lafayette has been arrested; this suspect accused of also breaking into a woman's home.

Cpl. Paul Mouton says Dylan Alfred is "considered a person of interest in connection to the recent armed robberies that have occurred within the City of Lafayette."

Lafayette Police Cpl. Paul Mouton says this most recent carjacking is extremely similar to three others that happened earlier in the week.

Cpl. Paul Mouton with the Lafayette Police Department says the robberies all happened this week, just days apart from each other.
