The New Orleans Police Department is reaching out to the public for help in identifying a man wanted for a theft that occurred earlier this month. The theft took place at a business located in the 5000 block of Canal Street, around midday last Tuesday. The authorities released a statement on social media detailing the incident and providing a description of the suspect.
In a social media post by the New Orleans Police Department, they stated, "around 11:47 a.m. on December 9, 2025 the pictured suspect stole cash from a business in the 5000 block of Canal Street and then fled." The details include a suspect believed to be a male, around 30 years of age, and notably, marked with tattoos — "NOLA" on his chin and "Eastbank" on his knuckles.
Community assistance plays a vital role in cases such as these, and the NOPD is encouraging anyone who might have information on the theft or the suspect's identity to come forward. Anonymous tips can also be submitted, providing a measure of security for those who wish to help but remain out of the spotlight.
The suspect's unique tattoos could prove instrumental in identifying him. NOPD is hoping that these distinctive marks will catch the eye of someone within the community, leading to a potential breakthrough in the case. The NOPD investigators have asked anyone with information to call the Third District detectives at 504-658-6030. Alternatively, for those wishing to stay anonymous, Crimestoppers can be called at 504-822-1111,
