Shreveport, Louisiana – The Shreveport Police Department (SPD) is actively seeking public assistance to locate Rashawnita Rogers, who is wanted for multiple counts of felony theft. Rogers has reportedly stolen from several retail locations, including well-known stores such as Brookshire’s and Walmart, causing significant concern in the community.
In addition to the theft charges within Shreveport, Rogers is facing six active felony warrants issued by law enforcement agencies in Texas and nearby regions. Authorities urge anyone who may have information about her whereabouts to contact the Shreveport Police Department at 318-673-7300. Alternatively, individuals can provide tips anonymously through Caddo Crime Stoppers by calling 318-673-7373. Those who offer information that leads to Rogers’ capture may be eligible for a cash reward.
In a related development, the SPD has recently arrested two women, including Kamique Pineset, aged 37, in connection with a separate theft incident at DSW Shoes on Youree Drive in Shreveport. On a Sunday night, these suspects were caught on surveillance video stealing 17 boxes of women’s UGG boots, each valued at $199. A vigilant bystander was instrumental in the investigation by noting the license plate number of the suspects’ vehicle, which led to further inquiry.
Following this tip-off, SPD property crimes detectives executed a search warrant at Pineset’s home and recovered several stolen boxes of shoes related to the incident. Both Pineset and Rogers are now facing charges of organized retail theft as a result of their alleged involvement in these crimes.
Rogers was taken into custody on Tuesday night after the public became aware of her wanted status. Her case highlights a growing concern over retail theft in the area, which local authorities are actively working to address. The SPD is particularly focused on cracking down on organized retail theft, which not only affects store owners but also concerns local consumers and the economy at large.
The information regarding Rogers and the recent thefts serves a dual purpose: calling for public engagement to aid in the capture of wanted suspects while also instilling a sense of community vigilance. The SPD continues to remind residents that they play a crucial role in enhancing the safety of their neighborhoods through awareness and proactive reporting of suspicious activities.
Local businesses are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any unusual activities to law enforcement to help combat the increasing occurrence of thefts. As the SPD continues its investigation, it is crucial for community members to support these efforts through cooperation and prompt reporting.
For those with leads regarding Rashawnita Rogers or any information regarding local thefts, promptly reaching out to the designated authorities is essential in fostering a safer community.
