The NOPD is searching for a subject wanted for auto theft in the Eighth District.
On Wednesday, May 22, 2019 around 7:20 a.m., the victim was retrieving her vehicle from a valet in the 800 block of Poydras Street. As the valet exited the vehicle, a female subject approached him and asked for the keys. The valet handed the keys to the subject and she entered the vehicle.
The valet realized that the subject did not supply the ticket for the vehicle and he attempted to open the door. As he was opening the door, the subject fled the scene in the vehicle.
The vehicle is a silver 2018 Nissan Murano with a Tennessee license plate numbered 9P22A3.
Anyone with information on this incident or the identity and whereabouts of the wanted subject is asked to contact Detective Joel Smith at 504-658-6080 or call Crimestoppers anonymously at 504-822-1111 and toll-free at 1-877-903-7867.
