NOPD Searching for Subject in First District Shoplifting

The NOPD is searching for a man suspected of shoplifting from a business on North Carrollton Avenue.

 

On Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 8:52 p.m., a man wearing a light-colored baseball cap with a dark brim, a light-colored tee shirt, tan cargo shorts, black tennis shoes, and a black backpack was observed on video footage fleeing a business in the 500 block of North Carrollton Avenue.

 

He is accused of taking a large aquarium light bulb for which he did not pay.

 

The individual is known to store employees to be a repeat shoplifter at multiple businesses in the area.

 

The subject is described as being in his late 40s to early 50s and had a gold-capped front tooth with a star shape cut out of it.

 

Anyone with information regarding this individual is asked to contact First District detectives at 504-658-6010 or report it anonymously through Crimestoppers Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or 877-903-7867 (toll free).
