NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) The New Orleans Police department is trying to solve a pair of similar car thefts. The cases are the latest ones to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
According to police, on August 19, a stolen Subaru Forester was taken in the 1700 block of Robert Street. The car was later abandoned and recovered, and police found a receipt for fast food inside of it. They were able to trace the receipt to the business and to surveillance video that shows a suspect behind the wheel while in the drive through lane.
The second case happened on October 24. Police say a Subaru Outback was used to commit a series of car burglaries on Milne Boulevard and 30th and 33rd streets. Police also released surveillance footage that shows two suspects in the case while inside the stolen car at a restaurant drive through.
