NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify and arrest a man who burglarized a business in Gentilly. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
According to police, the crime happened a little after 2:30 in the morning on Monday, Sept. 8, at the Plug Streetwear store in the 3100 block of Gentilly Boulevard. Surveillance video shows some of what happened.
