New Orleans police quickly arrest four men they say, were found burglarizing a bank ATM in New Orleans East.
A news release says at about 2:47 a.m. Wednesday morning (Feb. 5), NOPD Seventh District detectives responded to a burglary call at the Capital One Bank at the intersection of Lake Forest Boulevard and Bullard Avenue.
According to police, when officers arrived they found Justin Pierce (21), Brishun Gary (18), Theodore Keys III (39), and Tyrik Scott (20), using a black and silver Dodge Ram truck, chains, a pry bar, and a sledge hammer to burglarize the ATM outside the bank. The ATM was destroyed, but the men failed to get to the money inside.
They fled the scene on foot as police arrived, but officers pursued on foot and apprehended all four men. Each of them were booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center for simple criminal damage to property, simple burglary, theft and resisting an officer.
