The same trio is believed to have committed similar crimes elsewhere in the region, Falcon said.

Assumption
Falcon reported these arrests:
—Kamie Marie Dupre, 27, West Fifth Street, Cutoff, was returned Monday to Louisiana to face charges of felony theft and monetary instrument abuse.
The charges result from a financial crimes investigation after a Napoleonville business was defrauded.
In January, deputies were called to the Napoleonville business in connection with someone cashing in fraudulent video poker vouchers.
Detectives determined that on or about Jan. 6, fraudulent vouchers totaling $1,082.10 had been cashed in at the business by three individuals.
The investigation also resulted in the arrests of:
—David Terrebonne, 28, St. Charles By Pass Road, Thibodaux, who was arrested March 30 and later posted bond.
—Tyrone Q. Wilson, 36, Sophie Street, Labadieville, who was arrested March 11.
Dupre was arrested July 31 in Oklahoma. She was returned to Assumption on Monday. Her bond was set at $75,000.
—Holli Amber Delatte, 37, Lance Street, Thibodaux, was arrested Monday on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and headlamps required.
A uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle with an equipment violation Monday on La. 308 near the Labadieville Bridge and initiated a stop of the vehicle.
The deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Delatte. The deputy noted an odor of suspected marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The deputy noticed Delatte to be pacing nervously.
The deputy requested consent to search the vehicle, and consent was granted.
The search of the vehicle yielded suspected methamphetamine and marijuana.
Delatte was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center with bond set at $5,000.
—Rae Loyd, 40, La. 44, Gonzales, was arrested Monday on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and prohibited acts involving Adderall and Xanax (lorazepam).
A uniformed patrol deputy observed a vehicle commit a traffic violation Monday near Bertrandville and initiated a stop of the vehicle.
The deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Loyd. During the interview, the deputy noted an odor of suspected marijuana emitting from the violator vehicle.
The deputy concluded that further investigation was warranted. The deputy requested consent to search the vehicle, and Loyd gave consent. During a search of the vehicle, deputies located marijuana, Adderall and Xanax.
Loyd was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center with bond set at $50,000.
