Shreveport Habitual Theft Offender Charged with Stealing Apartment Appliances

Shreveport Police have charged a woman with theft after an investigation into appliances that were taken from an apartment during a move-out.

Officers were called by management at the Silver Pines South Pointe Apartments, after finding a refrigerator and stove belonging to the apartment complex were missing. The appliances were valued at around $1,200.

During the investigation, SPD Detectives learned that witnesses saw Precious Shanell N. Jefferson return to the apartment in late August with a U-Haul and several men who removed the refrigerator and stove while she was moving out.

Jefferson was already being held at the Shreveport City Jail on an unrelated theft arrest. During an interview with detectives, she denied taking the appliances.

Investigators determined Jefferson has four prior theft convictions in Caddo District Court. She was charged with Theft as a Habitual Offender in connection with this case.
