The New Orleans Police Department is actively seeking two suspects wanted in connection with a theft by fraud incident that took place on October 3, 2026. The suspects, described as two unknown Black males, are believed to have been involved in a fraudulent transaction at a business located in the 700 block of Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. According to police reports, the individuals entered the establishment and accumulated a bill totaling $349.07. Investigators state that the suspects waited for an employee to enter their password into the point-of-sale system. At that point, one of the suspects, identified as Suspect #1, attempted to pay the balance by manually entering numerous credit card numbers in an effort to fraudulently cover the cost. The attempt was unsuccessful, and both suspects subsequently fled the location on foot. The New Orleans Police Department is urging the public to assist in identifying and locating these individuals.
