Lafayette Police say a Mardi Gras float reported stolen Saturday has been found. LPD spokesperson Sgt. Robin Green says the 40-foot long double decker float was taken sometime Friday night from a Lucille Avenue address. She says even though the float has been found, they still want the person who took it. “The float was located in st. Martin Parish. It was abandoned at the time, and we are asking the community, if they have any information, to please contact us.”
The float was mostly decorated for parades and even bore signs from sponsors. It was located abandoned in a remote part of St. Martin Parish. She says the float had some moderate damage to the decorations and structure, and she feels for the owner who will have to spend more money to fix it up before parades.
Green says, despite finding the float, Lafayette Police still want to apprehend the person who stole it. She asks persons with information to call Lafayette P.D. of Lafayette Crimestoppers at 337-232-TIPS. She says someone HAS to know something. “A float is a very large item to kind of just take, so someone had to have seen something.”
