TICKFAW, La. (BRPROUD) — Deputies arrested more suspects in a New Orleans Mardi Gras pickpocketing investigation, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday.

The sheriff’s office said seven more suspects were arrested and another 122 cell phones were recovered on Monday.

Chief James Travis said he received information Saturday morning about a cell phone that went missing Friday evening during a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. The ping was in close proximity to Travis’ home at a short-term property rental in Tickfaw where investigators found 40 iPhones, faraday bags, cardboard boxes, and packing tape.

Detectives believe four of the suspects flew from Florida to New Orleans to pickpocket as part of a Colombian theft ring, according to TPSO.

Four suspects initially arrested were identified as Bridgette Solorzano Rodriguez, 32, Yudi Solorzano Sanchez, 36, Jean-Paul Sabogal Angortia, 24, and Geinier Acevebo-Jimenez, 24. All were charged with possession of stolen property.

The seven other suspects include Kely Forero-Mendoza, 30, Paula Canaria-Villamil, 24, Paola Consuegra-Gavlis, 33, Jhon Flores-Munoz, 30, Yuli Gutierrez, 26, Ronald Carvajal, 31, Jorge Jimenez, 47.
