Sheriff’s Office seeks identity of two men seen on video burglarizing an auto in Chalmette

The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help to identify two men seen on video burglarizing an auto in Chalmette in the early morning of Aug. 3, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Anyone with information on the names of the suspects should call the Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.

The two apparent white men, both wearing shorts and pullover shirts, burglarized a vehicle in the 3000 block of Tournefort Street just after midnight, stealing a wallet and other items.

The vehicle had been left unlocked. Sheriff Pohlmann recommends residents lock their vehicles at all times when they aren’t in use. The great majority of auto burglaries reported in St. Bernard Parish involve vehicles left unlocked.
