Mayor says someone took guns from his truck

Morgan City Mayor Lee Dragna told Facebook followers Wednesday that trucks belonging to him and his wife were burglarized. Three guns were stolen, said Dragna, who is offering a $5,000 reward for identifying the culprit.

In his post, Dragna said that on his way home 8:15-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, he saw two people on a sidewalk on Justa Street. One wore a black hoodie, the other a white hoodie.

Dragna asked anyone with surveillance cameras on Justa to examine the video to see if the two are shown.

His own surveillance video showed a white male wearing shorts and a black hoodie about 3 a.m. Wednesday.

Dragna believes the burglar used key fob booster, which amplifies a key fob signal so that access to a vehicle can be gained even if the fob is some distance away. There was no broken glass, he said.

The stolen weapons are a Ruger p89 9mm pistol, and S&P 9mm pistol and a Beretta .380 pistol.

"Please call me directly," Dragna's post said. In a subsequent post, he gave the phone number 985-397-2274.

The Morgan City Police Department released video Wednesday, saying it is investigating vehicle burglaries in the Lakeside Subdivision area.

"Anyone who may be able to identify the suspect or provide video footage is asked to contact the Morgan City Police Department Detectives Division at 985-380-4605.
