Minors under the age of 17 must be off the street between the hours of 10 p.m.-5 a.m., unless supervised by a parent or legal guardian, as established by the St. John Parish's Code of Ordinances Section 28-1.
'This curfew has been in place for years, it's not new,' said Sheriff Mike Tregre.
He added that during the summer, property crimes, including vandalism and burglaries, tend to increase.
'We are not trying to ruin anyone's summer, but we will enforce the law,' Sheriff Tregre said. 'Parents, please know where your minor children are and make sure they are abiding by the curfew.'
