NOPD hoping to crack case of the stolen safe

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify three people who are accused of stealing a safe from a home. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

According to police, the theft happened on April 8 in the 2000 block of Carondelet Street. The NOPD also released surveillance video showing much of what happened.

In the video, two people are seen carrying — what police identify as a safe — to a car at the curb. The two could be women, although it’s difficult to know for certain. Also, there’s a man in the front, passenger seat of their getaway car which police say could be a Ford Mustang.

When we asked the NOPD what was in the safe, we were told that’s part of the ongoing investigation. When we visited the area and spoke with a neighbor, he told us that the man who owned the safe and lived in the home that was burglarized had since moved.
