PLAQUEMINE — Iberville Parish officials said Tuesday they had arrested a fifth person who they say is connected to several recent vehicle burglaries.

Harris and a juvenile were accused of 13 counts of aggravated burglary. The second juvenile suspect is accused of 13 counts of aggravated burglary, illegal possession of a stolen firearm and resisting an officer.
