St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann is asking the public’s help to identify gunmen who robbed a pay-day loan business in Arabi on Saturday morning, including stealing money from several customers before fleeing in a dark-colored, two-tone SUV believed to be a Trailblazer.

Anyone with information should call the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 and they could be eligible for a reward if the tip leads to an arrest.

Three men, all carrying guns, entered the business in the 7500 block of West Judge Perez Drive in Arabi at about 10:50 a.m. and demanded money, robbing the store and several customers, Sheriff Pohlmann said.

No one was injured.

A fourth man may have been involved as the driver of the getaway vehicle, a witness said

They fled toward New Orleans in a dark, two-tone sport utility vehicle believed to be a Trailblazer, which may have a brake light out, the sheriff said. It wasn’t known if they left St. Bernard Parish.
