A rash of at least five robbery incidents — one in Broadmoor, two in Carrollton and one near St. Charles Avenue — were reported in the span of a few hours Wednesday evening, New Orleans police said.

The first case was reported around 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 1, when a 30-year-old man was walking in the 3500 block of Dryades Street (near Cohen College Prep High School), said Dawne Massey, a NOPD spokeswoman. A silver car with license plate ZRK 330 pulled up next to him, and the passenger asked for directions, then drew a silver handgun and demanded the victim’s wallet and handgun, Massey said.

“The victim described the suspect (passenger) as a black male, 16-20 years old, with short black hair and wearing a white tank top,” Massey wrote. “The second suspect (driver) is described as a black male, 16-20 years old, with short black hair, dark brown skin, and gap in the front of his top row of teeth.”

Around 6:25 p.m., a man in his late 20s was getting out of his vehicle in the 5800 block of McKenna Street (near Nashville) when a man in a silver vehicle called out to him, according to the initial NOPD report in that case.

“The subject produced a handgun and demanded the victim’s money,” the report states. “The victim refused and fled to his backyard.”

Around 10 minutes later, a 30-year-old man was loading his vehicle in the 8300 block of Willow Street (near Dante Street) when a silver vehicle drove up, the report in that case states. The driver demanded the victim’s wallet at gunpoint, took it and drove off, the report states.

Around 6:50 p.m., a man in his early 60s was painting a house in the 8700 block of Spruce Street (near Monroe Street) when a man with a gun walked up and put a gun to his head, the report in that case states. The victim handed over his wallet, and the gunman drove off in a silver vehicle, the report states.

Around 10:20 p.m., a man in his late 50s was near Jackson and St. Charles avenues when two men approached him and asked for a light, according to the report in that case.

“One of the subjects produced a gun and demanded the victims’ money,” the report states. “The victim complied and the subjects fled.”

Anyone with information is urged to call the NOPD Second District station at 658-6020 to speak to a detective, or CrimeStoppers at 822-1111 to leave an anonymous tip that could be eligible for a cash reward.
