Shoplifting Suspects Sought in Incident on Orleans Avenue

The NOPD is seeking assistance in locating two female suspects in a shoplifting incident that occurred on November 6, 2016 in the 3700 block of Orleans Avenue.

At about 5:08 p.m., the individuals were inside the Pearl Wine Company, where they immediately relocated to the liquor aisle. One of the suspects then concealed a bottle of liquor under her shirt before the suspects then exited the store without paying. The store’s owner told police that the suspects have shoplifted in the past from the location.

Anyone with information regarding this incident or the suspects is asked to contact First District detectives at 504-658-6010. 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.
