Hannibal Men Accused in Louisiana MO Theft

(LOUISIANA)--   Three Hannibal residents are accused of stealing change, soft drinks and snacks valued at up to 300 dollars from a Louisiana laundry.

17-year-old Andrew Lewis and 21-year-olds Tyler Franklin and Zachary Todd are charged with felony burglary.   Authorities say the three allegedly admitted to the break-in at LA Laundry Mat along Highway 79 on the south side of the city early on the morning of February 13th.

Police say they were captured with the help of surveillance video that the laundry owner had just installed last month and interviews with a business where the suspects paid for 22 dollars of food with eight one dollar bills and loose change.

A girlfriend of one of the suspects also allegedly told police that her roommate had thrown out some of the snacks and soda pop along Highway D. It was later recovered.
Franklin and Todd will be arraigned Wednesday. A court date had not been set for Lewis.
