The NOPD is seeking assistance from the public in identifying and locating the pictured subjects who are wanted in connection with two shoplifting incidents that occurred in the 2100 block of Caton Street.

The first incident occurred at or around 10:45 a.m. on July 8, 2018. The reporting person told police that two black males entered with business with backpacks and walked to the rear of the store. The subjects reportedly removed several packs of t-shirts and underwear from the racks and placed them inside of their backpacks. The subjects then fled the scene on foot, bypassing all points of sale. The items that were reported stolen are reportedly valued at over $100.

The second incident occurred at or around 7:09 a.m. on July 19, 2018. The reporting person told police that he observed two unknown black males entering the store. One of the subjects reportedly stood in the front of the store to distract the cashier, while the second subject proceeded to the baby aisle. The subject was then observed exiting the store in possession of baby diapers, bypassing all points of sale.

Anyone with any additional information regarding the subject’s whereabouts should notify Third District detectives at 504-658-6030. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
