Man takes shirt and nearly loses pants in Algiers shoplifting investigation

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify a man who is accused of stealing from a business in Algiers. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

According to the NOPD, the crime happened on April 13 at a little before 8:00 in the morning in the 2600 block of General DeGaulle Drive. Surveillance video shows much of what happened.


In the video, a man is seen grabbing what appears to be a t-shirt from a stack of merchandise and then running out the door of the business. As he goes, his pants nearly fall to his knees. Right behind the man, a security guard or other person chases after him.
