NOPD Third District Seeking Auto Theft Suspects

The NOPD is seeking assistance in locating and identifying suspects in the investigation of a vehicle theft that occurred on July 7, 2020 in the 6100 block of Franklin Avenue.

At about 3:30 p.m., the victim reportedly parked his 2020 black Jeep Grand Cherokee at a store in the 6100 block of Franklin Avenue, leaving the vehicle running while he entered the store. The pictured white SUV was seen parking behind the vehicle, and an unknown black male wearing a grey hooded jacket, white shoes and jeans was seen exiting the white SUV’s passenger front door and stealing the victim’s vehicle. Both vehicles fled south bound on Franklin Avenue. The victim’s vehicle was later recovered.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is asked to contact NOPD Third District detectives at 504-658-6030 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
