Vehicle Taken in Armed Carjacking at St. Bernard Avenue & Hope Street

The NOPD is searching for a 1998 black, four-door Toyota Camry that was taken at the intersection of St. Bernard Avenue and Hope Street during an armed carjacking.

The incident happened on September 30, 2017. At about 4:45 a.m., the victim entered her vehicle that was parked in the area. The victim told police she was then approached by two black male suspects. One of the suspects then produced a black handgun and demanded that the victim exit the vehicle.

The victim told police the second suspect called her by name demanding that she exit the vehicle. Once the victim complied, the perpetrators then fled southbound on St. Bernard Avenue.  

The vehicle is described as having a Louisiana license plate bearing #YBT155.
