METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — Investigators with the FBI New Orleans Field Office are looking to locate and identify a suspect in a 2023 Metairie bank robbery. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

On Aug. 4, 2023, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of a robbery at a Bank Plus in the 400 block of Metairie Road.

FBI officials reported an armed man walked into the bank, held two employees at gunpoint and told them to open the safe.

The suspect then took an undisclosed amount of money and left in a silver Ford Edge. But security camera footage shows the car had no license plate.
