Pickpocket alert!
New Orleans Police are searching for a male and female couple they say took a male victim’s cellphone and wallet in a pickpocket incident near the intersection of Bourbon and Iberville streets on May 2.
The incident occurred at about 2 a.m. near the intersection, where the male victim was standing and was approached by an unknown Black female, who was observed on surveillance camera footage rubbing on him and then going through his pockets, according to the NOPD.
Police said the female stole the victim’s cell phone and wallet, which she placed “into the rear of her pants.” Shortly afterward, a Black male suspect was observed reaching into the rear of the Black female’s pants and taking the stolen property before walking away, according to the NOPD.
Anyone who knows the identity of the alleged suspects is asked to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080.
