NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A man was arrested in the Lower Garden District in connection to a carjacking incident on Wednesday, June 14.

The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) was tracking a suspect following a carjacking, according to some nearby residents.

Residents said police found the car and waited nearby on the block of Terpsichore Street and Camp Street until the suspect returned.

The suspect was ultimately found in one of the nearby homes’ side yards and arrested.

The suspect’s identity has not been revealed at this time.

“The police did an amazing job and the police presence today has been incredible, and the fact that they have followed up and caught this guy is great and it’s very reassuring because you don’t hear these stories that often,” says nearby resident Cindy Dunn.
