Suspects Sought in Eighth District Theft Incident

The NOPD is seeking to locate and identify two suspects sought in connection with a theft incident that occurred on January 28, 2019 in the 500 block of Baronne Street.

At approximately 2:00 p.m., the subject depicted to the far left (wearing a black baseball cap) was seen entering the location and sitting at the bar. Moments later, the subject was seen turning around and removing the victim’s purse from the rear of her chair. After removing the purse, the subject was seen turning back to the bar and placing the victim’s purse on his lap. A few minutes later, the second pictured subject (center) entered the location, where he assisted the first subject in exiting the location with the victim’s purse.

Anyone with information on this incident or the pictured subjects is asked to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
