METAIRIE, La. — The Burglary Section of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying or locating several individuals who are wanted in connection with multiple vehicle burglaries in Jefferson Parish. 

The following individuals are wanted in connection with multiple vehicle burglary incidents:

  • Maliek Hundley, 19, New Orleans (17 counts)
  • James Elphage, 21, New Orleans (37 counts)
  • Jermone Brown, 20, New Orleans (25 counts; prior arrest in Jan 2020 for 10 counts)

The subjects are part of several groups of offenders who are operating across multiple local jurisdictions.  Most of the incidents in Jefferson Parish have occurred in close proximity to the Jefferson Parish-Orleans Parish line.
