Vehicle Involved in Armed Robbery Sought by Fifth District Detectives

The NOPD is searching for a blue Dodge Ram truck that was used in an armed robbery on October 16, 2017.  

The victim stated he was helping a customer check out at about 3:55 p.m.,  when an unknown black male entered a store with his face covered in the 2000 block of North Claiborne Avenue. The suspect then produced a silver handgun and demanded cash out of the register.

Through the course of the investigation, detectives located video surveillance and were able to determine that the perpetrator was driving a blue 2008 Dodge Ram bearing Louisiana license #C453944.

The perpetrator fled in the vehicle down Frenchmen Street and then in an unknown direction.  The perpetrator was also seen wearing all dark clothing.
