KENNER - Michael Walker, age 38, of 1018 Compromise Street, Kenner, has been arrested and charged with a total of 14 burglaries. Detectives were able to link Walker to the burglaries through M.O.

The 14 burglaries were broken down as follows:

3 – Business burglaries

Walker is accused of going through residential windows that were either secured or unsecured and removing jewelry or electronics. In the business burglaries, Walker gained entry through the roof or windows he kicked open.

The residential burglaries and vehicle burglary occurred in the Morningside Park Subdivision, which is where he lived. Walker was convicted of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling back in 1999.

If convicted, Walker faces a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison on each count.
