Police in New Orleans need the public’s help in finding a suspect they say is responsible for multiple burglaries and theft on Tuesday.
An NOPD report says, “At around 2:40 p.m., the pictured Honda Pilot SUV is believed to have been utilized in the commission of a simple burglary of a vehicle in the 600 block of North Broad Street, where the victim’s purse was stolen from her vehicle and the suspects fled. The suspects returned a short time later in the same vehicle and allegedly stole the victim’s 2013 Toyota Rav4 from the location.”
Police say the suspect then returned to the 2800 block of Toulouse Street to commit more crimes.
“The front passenger reportedly exited the vehicle and snatched the purse of a second victim before entering the victim’s Honda CR-V and attempting to flee,” says the report. “The victim reportedly attempted to retrieve her vehicle. However, the suspect allegedly reversed the vehicle and struck the victim, causing multiple injuries, before reportedly fleeing the scene. At this time, the Honda CR-V has not been recovered.”
Anyone with additional information on any of these incidents is asked to contact NOPD First District detectives at 504-658-6010 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
