Shreveport detectives are hoping the public can help them clear some outstanding arrest warrants by helping police locate suspects wanted for multiple unrelated property crimes.

Those currently sought by the department are:

• John Thomas, 33, of Shreveport. He is wanted for illegal possession of stolen things. Thomas is accused of being in possession of a 1981 Ford truck that had been stolen during the May 21 burglary of Fischer Carpet Company in the 2500 block of Fulton.

• Benjamin Wallace, 20, of Haughton. He is wanted for simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling for allegedly entering a residence and staying there without permission. The incident is believed to have occurred around May 24.

• Oralee Bivins, 24, of Shreveport. She is wanted for simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling for allegedly breaking into a home in the 2600 block of Audrey Lane and stealing several items around June 5.

If anyone has information regarding the whereabouts of any of these suspects, call Crime Stoppers at 673-7000 or Police Communications at 673-7300.
