WALKER, La (BRPROUD) — The Walker Police Department have charged a 20-year-old suspect in the armed robbery of a Subway restaurant dating back to July 26, 2022.

According to the Walker Police Department, 20-year-old Steven A. Langlois was initially arrested by the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Deputies and later charged by Walker detectives after admitting to his role in the armed robbery at a Subway on Florida Boulevard.

Chief Addison says after Langlois’ arrest, the clothing items worn and the handgun believed to be used in the armed robbery were recovered.

It is believed Langlois was also a participant in the burglaries of several warehouse units in the same area, located at the corner of Burgess Avenue and Glascock Street.

“We are pleased with the swift resolution of this robbery and the other violations committed by Langlois,” said Walker Police Chief David Addison. “Armed robberies are unusual in our City and we understand that having someone on the loose who used a firearm to commit a robbery is unsettling to our residents. Quickly getting this suspect off the street and behind bars was very important to us.”

Langlois remains in custody at the Livingston Parish Detention Center as the investigation of the armed robbery continues.
