David W. Welker, Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans Division of the FBI, and Warren Riley, Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), request the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals responsible for the robbery of the Capital One Bank located at 6235 S. Clairborne Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana.

At approximately 10:17 a.m. today, two individuals armed with handguns approached a teller window and demanded money. The robbers were described as black males, approximately 6’ – 6’3”, and 170-190 pounds. One wore a camouflage jacket and a white t-shirt covering his face. The other robber wore a white t-shirt and a black hooded sweatshirt. The robbers fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a white Jeep Cherokee which was abandoned and recovered a few blocks from the bank near Broadway Avenue and Green Street. 

The Metropolitan Orleans Bank Security Association (MOBSA) offers up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of these robbers. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 504-816-3000.
