Vehicle Reported Stolen in Eighth District Carjacking

The NOPD is seeking to locate a vehicle reported stolen in an unarmed carjacking incident at the intersection of Burgundy and Toulouse streets on January 19, 2019.

At about 7:30 a.m., the victim was inside of his black 2018 Toyota Camry rental car bearing Colorado license place DKG235 when he was reportedly approached by two unknown black males who asked the victim for a cigarette. The subjects then forced the victim out of his vehicle, entered the vehicle and fled in an unknown direction.

A photo of the actual vehicle involved in this incident is included in this release.

Anyone with information regarding this incident or the vehicle’s whereabouts is asked to contact NOPD Eight District detectives at 504-658-6080, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
