The NOPD has arrested Pablo Amador (pictured at left, male, DOB: 10-30-1995) and has obtained an arrest warrant for Monica Okada (pictured at right, female, DOB: 09-26-1998) in the investigation of a simple burglary that occurred at City Park on October 4, 2020.

At about 12:59 a.m., City Park was targeted by two suspects in an incident which both individuals stole a historic plaque from the carousel area and caused thousands of dollars in damages to the property.

As investigation into the incident progressed, information received through tips to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans aided investigators in developing Amadar and Okada as suspects. With the assistance of Kenner Police Department investigators, a search warrant was executed at the home of Amadar in that jurisdiction. Amadar was located and arrested during execution of the search warrant. Detectives were also able to recover the stolen property at the location.

Okada, also believed to reside in the Kenner area, remains at large and remains wanted for arrest in connection with this incident.

Both suspects face charges of simple burglary, simple criminal damage to property and criminal damage to historic buildings or landmarks by defacing with graffiti.
