The NOPD has arrested Cecil Bonnee (DOB: 09-04-1991) and Robert Clark (DOB: 06-20-1988) in connection with numerous auto and residential burglaries that have recently occurred in both the Second and Third districts between October 14 and Oct. 20, 2018.

During this time frame, the Second District received reports of 30 auto burglaries. Due to the above average number, Second District detectives, Task Force members and district platoons began an aggressive campaign to track down all leads and increase patrols in an effort to identify and locate those responsible. Through the continued investigation, detectives found the same two subjects were observed in numerous videos that were obtained by Second District officers of auto burglary incidents.

On October 24, Second District officers received a tip through Crimestoppers and to the NOPD through a citizen phone call with information as to the identities and location of two suspects, identified as Bonnee and Jaylon Williams (DOB: 11-23-1996). NOPD First District officers located and arrested Bonnee, while Williams remains at large and is wanted in connection with this investigation.
