Four Shreveport Teens Facing Charges for String of Car Burglaries

During the investigation, deputies recovered two handguns, a rifle and a 2020 Dodge Charger that was reported stolen out of Texarkana on August 31.

19-year-old Lorenzo Oliver and 19-year-old Brandon Tyler are accused of using the stolen car to drive to the Corridor Apartments where they allegedly committed the burglaries. Sheriff Steve Prator says the cars that were stolen from were all unlocked.

"I'm proud of the great work our deputies are doing in catching these thieves, but we need your help," Prator said. "Lock your cars and don't keep guns or valuables in your vehicles. Install surveillance cameras and be a nosey neighbor. Pay attention!"

The juveniles were booked into the Caddo Parish Juvenile Detention Center while Oliver and Tyler were booked into Caddo Correctional Center.
