The NOPD is searching for two suspects seen on video surveillance in commission of the burglary of a business in the 1500 block of North Claiborne Avenue on January 22, 2018.

At about 2:26 a.m., the two pictured unknown individuals were seen on video surveillance gaining illegal entry to Hollywood Sports and Celebration Lounge, located in the 1500 block of North Claiborne Avenue, by prying the front security door open with a crowbar. The subjects then forced entry into the business’ office and stole cash before fleeing the scene.

During the investigation, a green colored GMC pickup believed to have been used by the subjects was recovered on scene. The truck was discovered to have been reported stolen.
