A 16-year-old boy is among four people held after scaling a wall and sneaking onto a private compound in Barataria.
Around 2:20am this morning, officers responded to a report of persons at the compound along 12th Street.
They subsequently found the teenager and two others hiding inside a two-storey unfurnished concrete building.
They also held the driver of a B14 vehicle, which reportedly dropped the men off and had been circling the area.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
