Suspect Arrested in Eighth District Auto Theft, Auto Burglary

The NOPD has arrested Joshua Daigle (pictured, DOB: 05-10-1992) in the investigation of an auto burglary and auto theft incident that occurred on March 18, 2020.

At about 3:00 a.m., an unknown male burglarized an unlocked vehicle in the 1000 block of St. Peter Street, at which time he located a car key to a nearby vehicle. The subject returned to the location and stole an Audi TT vehicle from the same block. Officers responded, at which time the subject – later positively identified as Daigle, was located and apprehended without incident.

Daigle was booked into the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office for auto burglary and simple burglary of a vehicle.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080.
