The St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office has arrested three individuals and issued arrest warrants for two others in connection with a series of copper wire thefts across St. Bernard Parish, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Zanca also was booked with eight counts of felony theft. Zanca also was booked on a previous outstanding warrant from the New Orleans Police Department for possession of a stolen vehicle.
In addition, arrest warrants in connection with the case have been issued for Logan Neumeyer, 25, of the 400 block of Norton Avenue in Arabi, and Keith McKinnis, 32, of the 2500 block of St. Matthew Circle in Violet.
