The p(l)ot thickens: two more collared in ‘ducknapping'

Lafayette Police say two men have submitted themselves to custody in connection with the harrowing caper of last week.

The pressure was evidently too great: Lafayette Police say two men have submitted themselves to custody in connection with the harrowing ducknapping' caper of last week wherein a group of ne'er do wells absconded with a 14-foot inflatable duck belonging to the Boys/Girls Club of Acadiana.

Zachary Quibodeaux and Tre Leon, both 21 - the former of Lafayette, the latter a Rayne citizen - turned themselves in without incident and each faces a single charge of felony theft. They join in the annals of brazen Hub City misdeeds Garcon and Kyle Cormier, who were nabbed by officers last week shortly after a surveillance photo of a pickup truck hauling away the forlorn fowl.
