NOPD officers are searching for three suspects who were captured on surveillance video burglarizing several vehicles in the Third District.

Officers responded to a call of a simple burglary of a vehicle in the 4100 block of South Carrollton Avenue. Upon arrival, officers observed three vehicles parked at the aforementioned location with all of the driver’s side windows smashed. All three victims reported several items were missing from inside of their vehicles. One of the victims informed officers that a 9 millimeter handgun was taken from inside of her vehicle.

During the course of the investigation, officers reviewed surveillance video from the area and observed three unknown male subjects approach the area in a white two-door Nissan, at which time the subjects began burglarizing the victims’ vehicles.
