The NOPD is searching for a suspect responsible for two different shoplifting incidents along South Claiborne Avenue.
On September 17, 2016 at 9:02 a.m., an unknown male was seen entering the Circle K business in the 6200 block of South Claiborne Avenue. The reporting person stated the subject asked for a bottle of Ciroc vodka. When the employee got the bottle, the suspect then took it out of her hands. He was then seen running in an unknown direction.
At about 9:15 a.m., the suspect then relocated to another store in the 4400 block of South Claiborne Avenue. The reporting person stated the suspect jumped over the counter and took multiple bottles of Ciroc vodka, and then fled the location without paying for the merchandise.
A photo of the suspect taken from surveillance video can be seen below.
