	The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office has blurry home surveillance
footage
	that depicts members of an all-terrain vehicle crime ring that has
snatched
	more than 15 four wheelers in St. Bernard the past several months,
	Sheriff-elect James Pohlmann said on Thursday. Sheriff's detectives
are
	asking the public's help in identifying the men from a theft earlier
this
	month on Heights Drive in St. Bernard.
	
	The ATVs, some worth as much as $10,000, have been stolen mainly in
eastern
	St. Bernard and are being transported and sold in other parishes,
according
	to Pohlmann.
	
	Anyone with information is asked to call the St. Bernard Sheriff's
Office at
	504.271.2501      , or Crimestoppers at             504.822.1111
. If
	an arrest is made, callers could be eligible for a reward.
	
	In an separate matter, a Chalmette man on Wednesday surrendered
after the
	Sheriff's Office on Tuesday released a bank surveillance photo of a
man
	purportedly using a stolen debit card at an ATM machine in St.
Bernard.
	
	Sheriff's detectives allege Alexis Martinez, 33, snatched a purse
from a
	newlywed couple's vehicle on Dec. 10. The victims were married
earlier that
	day, according to the Sheriff's Office.
	
	Martinez, who denied stealing the card, was booked with auto
burglary and
	attempted theft after he surrendered in the company of an attorney.
