The NOPD is seeking assistance from the public in locating two suspects believed to be responsible for an armed robbery in the 3700 block of North Rampart Street on June 19, 2017, as well as a vehicle taken by the suspects during the incident.

The victim told police that at about 9:50 p.m., he exited his gray 2004 Lexus ES 330 bearing Louisiana license plate #VAA122 and began to walk to the rear gate of his residence. The victim observed two unknown black male subjects walking towards him as he walked to the rear gate of his residence. The victim said that he and the unknown black males greeted each other as they passed. The victim stated as he fumbled with putting his key in the gate, he felt a gun being placed to his head and heard a subject stated “Give me your keys.” The victim stated he turned around and observed the subjects that he had just greeted were now pointing handguns at him. The victim complied with the perpetrators demands and the subjects entered his vehicle and fled the location.

The victim stated the vehicle has dents on both sides of the rear bumper, an Uber sticker on the front windshield and a crack in the center of the front windshield.
