The NOPD is asking for help in identifying a subject wanted in connection with a vehicle burglary in the First District.
On October 12, 2023, officers were dispatched to call of a vehicle burglary in progress in the 2600 block of St. Phillip Street.
The victim stated that they observed an unknown black male (pictured on the right), digging through the interior of his vehicle through a broken window.
The suspect was startled and dropped his cell phone that he was apparently using as a flashlight.
The picture on the left, is believed to be a photo of the perpetrator that he had on his cell phone as a screensaver.
Anyone with information as to the identity of this subject is asked to contact First District detectives at (504) 658-6010 or Crimestoppers anonymously at (504) 822-1111.
