In a St. Landry Parish Crime Stoppers video released Wednesday, Maj. Eddie Thibodeaux outlined a burglary case at a Dollar General store in St. Landry Parish.

Police have since arrested 17-year-old Claydeon Thomas and two juveniles for the burglary.

Thibodeaux reported the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office juvenile section acted on several anonymous tips to lead to the arrest.

In the burglary, Thomas and the juveniles allegedly smashed the window of the front door, entered the store and stole various items.
