Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office detectives have charged a Shreveport man in connection with multiple burglaries at a local business, according to Sheriff Henry Whiterhorn Sr.

On May 28, 2026, deputies responded to a reported burglary at HighLifter Products, located off Atkinson Drive. During this incident, the business and multiple campers on the property were burglarized, leading to a reported loss exceeding $2,800.

This marked the second burglary reported at the business within the past month. Investigators obtained surveillance video from the most recent incident, which was instrumental in identifying the suspect.

During the investigation, Detective Lucky reviewed the video evidence and gathered additional information that led to the identification of Benjamin Ashcraft, 34, as the suspect.

On May 30, 2026, detectives secured an arrest warrant charging Ashcraft with three counts of burglary. Investigators later discovered that Ashcraft was already incarcerated at the Caddo Correctional Center on unrelated charges. Consequently, the burglary charges were added to his existing charges.

The investigation into the recent burglary at HighLifter Products is still ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office at 318-675-2170 or Caddo/Shreveport Crimestoppers at 318-673-7373.
