New clues from NOPD in two unsolved Mid-City cases

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The latest Wheel of Justice report focuses on two previously reported cases that remain unsolved, but now there are new clues.

The first case happened on Feb. 10, and WGNO reported it in on Wheel of Justice that same week. The case involves a suspect who wore a mask, gloves and bags over his shoes while using a machete to rob a Subway restaurant in the 500 block of City Park Avenue in Mid-City. In our first report, we showed you some security camera images of the suspect.

Since then, the case has remained unsolved, and now the New Orleans Police Department has released an additional clue. It’s another security camera image of the suspect and the car he’s accused of using to make his getaway. According to police, it could be a four-door Volvo. Cops say the suspect drove the car south on St. Louis Street after robbing the store.

The second case involves a series of car burglaries this month, also in Mid-City. We showed you security camera footage from homes on the streets of North Murat and South Alexander. The video shows groups of car burglars approaching cars. One clip also shows the alleged getaway car, a white sedan.

Last week, we reported the burglaries remain unsolved. Since then, the NOPD released additional images of the alleged getaway car as well as four suspects.
