Shreveport – Shreveport police detectives are actively seeking the public’s assistance in locating Paige Cranford, who is wanted in connection with a theft incident at Walmart that took place on February 11. An arrest warrant has been secured for Cranford after investigations revealed she was caught on surveillance footage stealing merchandise and fleeing the scene. The theft fact was reported to authorities by Walmart Asset Protection in June.
Cranford has a notable criminal history, consisting of three previous arrests for theft, all of which resulted in convictions. This pattern of behavior has led detectives to classify her as a repeat offender, thus necessitating the issuance of a warrant for her arrest. The Shreveport Police Department urges anyone who may know Cranford’s whereabouts to reach out to them at 318-673-7300.
Alongside Cranford, Rashawnita Rogers is also wanted for her involvement in multiple counts of felony theft, specifically targeting various stores including Brookshire’s and Walmart. Rogers is currently linked to six active felony warrants from law enforcement agencies across Texas and surrounding areas. Authorities encourage anyone with information about her to contact the Shreveport Police Department or Caddo Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373, which allows for anonymous tips.
In a related incident, a one-year-old child was left unharmed inside a stolen vehicle taken while the child’s mother was briefly in her home. The vehicle, a black 2014 Ford Focus, was reported stolen around 8 p.m. while the child was sleeping inside. Thankfully, the child was located safe in the Walmart parking lot about an hour later and was checked by first responders to confirm they were unharmed.
The suspect in this vehicle theft, 17-year-old Marcus Madden, was apprehended following a search after the incident. Madden faces multiple charges, including simple kidnapping, theft of a motor vehicle, and child desertion. His arrest highlights ongoing issues of vehicle theft and child safety in the area.
Additionally, the Shreveport Police are on the lookout for Alexus Pullen, who is linked to scams and thefts involving Green Dot cards at Walmart locations across the nation. Pullen has amassed a troubling total of 12 outstanding warrants from various jurisdictions and is connected to over $128,000 in thefts and fraudulent transactions since 2021. Authorities are urging anyone with information pertaining to Pullen’s whereabouts to contact the Shreveport Police at 318-673-7300 or their local law enforcement agency.
These cases underline the ongoing challenge law enforcement faces regarding theft and repeat offenders in the community. The police department continues to encourage citizens to alert them on any suspicious activities or information regarding wanted suspects to help increase safety and accountability in Shreveport.
