NOPD Searching for Suspect in Auto Burglary on Basin Street

The NOPD is seeking to identify and locate a suspect believed to be responsible for an auto burglary incident in the 300 block of Basin Street on June 14, 2018.

At about 7:18 p.m., the pictured perpetrator allegedly threw unknown objects at the victim’s vehicle window before forcefully pushing in the right front passenger window. The perpetrator then reportedly gained entry and removed a purse and a camera from the passenger seat before fleeing the scene.

The subject is described as an unknown black male wearing a white shirt tied on top of his head, a purple Mardi Gras-inspired t-shirt with “New Orleans” on the front, dark colored shorts and white tennis shoes.

Anyone with information regarding this incident or the pictured suspect is asked to contact First District detectives at 504-658-6010 or call anonymously to CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll free at 1-877-903-7867.
