The NOPD is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying and locating those responsible for two armed robberies that occurred today (April 12, 2023) in the Third District.

At about 11:43 a.m., the pictured subject committed an armed robbery at the intersection of Rosary and Wilton drives, stealing the victim’s wallet after unsuccessfully attempting to take the victim’s vehicle. The suspect both arrived to and fled from the scene in the pictured dark-colored four-door sedan.

Then, at 11:58 a.m., an armed robbery occurred in the 9000 block of Palmetto Street where an armed perpetrator arrived in a dark-colored four-door sedan and stole and fled the scene in the victim’s black 2018 Ford Mustang bearing an unknown temporary license tag.

Detectives have determined the same subject to be the perpetrator in both incidents. The perpetrator is described as an unknown male wearing dark shoes, dark pants with a brown belt, light-colored shirt, gray hooded sweatshirt with a black design, black gloves and a black mask.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is urged to contact NOPD Third District detectives at 504-658-6030. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
