The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Calvin Jones (DOB: 09-28-1969) in connection with a burglary that occurred at a business in the 2800 block of South Claiborne Avenue on April 17, 2017.

At about 12:56 a.m., Sixth District officers responded to a burglary alarm at the location. Upon arrival, officers noticed that the rear door of the business was open and that the ceiling of the store was damaged. Officers also noticed a green water hose hanging from the ceiling. Further investigation showed that the contents of the business – clothing and shoes – were left strewn throughout the store.

Surveillance video of the incident showed an unknown black male enter the business through the ceiling, eventually employing a water hose in an attempt to climb down, but was seen falling through the ceiling. The burglar alarm was then activated, at which time the suspect unsuccessfully attempted to climb back through the roof and then unsuccessfully attempted to break the interior glass of the business, before exiting the business through a rear door and fleeing the scene.

As their investigation progressed, detectives were able to positively identify Jones as the perpetrator in this incident.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Calvin Jones is asked to contact Sixth District detectives at 504-658-6060.
