The NOPD is seeking assistance in locating Joseph Cuccia (DOB: 01/10/1975), after he was observed on surveillance video utilizing a debit card that was reported stolen during a residential burglary that occurred in the 2200 block of Cobblestone Lane.

The victim told police that he returned to his residence at or around 4 p.m. on August 3, 2018, and observed his front window was smashed in. He then entered the residence and discovered the interior of his residence ransacked and items were missing from inside.
