Crescent City Crime Bits

New Orleans Police Blotter: May 16-23



On this week's rundown of the lowdown, another spate of car burglaries hit City Park. Like all of us, this robber likes to go to the Park once a week. Elsewhere, a dramatic murder went down only blocks from the Bayou Boogaloo and an Irish Channel robber got $7 for his troubles. Crescent City Crime Bits provides all the New Orleans crime of the past week, all in one place.
