NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The latest Wheel of Justice report looks at a trio of unrelated crimes with one thing in common, all of the suspects were wearing masks.
In one of those cases, a burglary at a convenience store in the 6000 block of Chef Menteur Highway, police say the thief wore a werewolf mask. They’ve also identified a suspect. Turns out, the suspect was arrested on a burglary charge a little more than two weeks prior to the werewolf heist but was released without having to post bond.
Another burglary case involved a suspect who wore a skeleton mask and sweatshirt to break through the roof of a business on South Carrollton Avenue to steal some of its merchandise.
The third case happened in Mandeville with a suspect who wore a medical mask into a grocery store to steal the wallet of a 91-year-old woman when she turned her back away from her shopping cart.
You can get more details on each case by watching the latest Wheel of Justice report in the video at the top of this story.
