NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify and locate the man who flattened four tires on a pickup truck in Gentilly. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
According to police, the crime happened around 9 p.m. on Aug. 30 in the 2100 block of Timoleon Street. Police released security camera footage that shows much of what happened.
In the video, a man is seen walking around a parked pickup truck and bending down at each tire. Also in the video, a buzz can be heard that sounds similar to a battery-powered drill or similar tool. According to police, the man flattened all four tires. They say he was driving a white pickup truck.
