NOPD searching for backyard burglary suspect

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) The New Orleans Police Department is looking for a man who is accused of smashing the windows of a home and burglarizing it. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

According to police, the crime happened in the 300 block of West Kenilworth Street on Thursday, August 4, around 1:15 in the afternoon. The NOPD released some home security camera footage that shows much of what happened.

In the video, a man is seen approaching the backyard of a home then smashing a window by the swimming pool. Moments later, he’s seen exiting a different window that also appears to have been broken.

Police did not say what the man took from the home, if anything. In May, police released surveillance images from another crime in that same block of West Kenilworth when a team of four suspects was accused of burglarizing multiple homes in the same night.
