NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans police say nine people have been arrested with connections to armed robberies and carjackings.
NOLA.com/the Times-Picayune reports (https://bit.ly/2sgPbju ) police announced on Wednesday that all but one of the nine arrested are juveniles.
Police superintendent Michael Harrison says officers arrested four people in connection with an armed robbery and four carjackings that happened between June 1 and 4. Investigators recovered three stolen vehicles and found three firearms police believe were used in the crimes.
Harrison identified 23-year-old Roland Fields as the only one of the four arrested who’s older than 18. Court documents say he’s booked with possession of stolen property. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
Harrison says officers also arrested four juveniles in connection with three armed robberies and a fifth accused in a separate incident.
