HAMMOND, LA. (WGNO) — The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office has asked for the public’s help in finding and identifying the man they say burglarized a Hammond business Thursday.

Deputies say they responded to a burglary call at the Subway on University Avenue. Surveillance video caught a man using a small hatchet to gain entrance to the building. He was then seen walking around and putting items into his backpack.

The man is described as a black male wearing a dark-colored hoodie and a face mask. Deputies say the man is probably linked to another burglary that night at the Subway on Airport Road in Hammond.
