LAFAYETTE —Three Baton Rouge men were arrested by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office following an investigation into several residential burglaries at new home construction sites. 

According to the sheriff's office, detectives conducted a multi-week investigation after receiving reports of nearly 10 new appliances being stolen from building sites near Ridge Road in Lafayette Parish.
