NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) -- New Orleans police are trying to solve a pair of burglaries that happened this month in the Lower Garden District. The cases are the latest to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
The first happened in the 1300 block of Constance Street on September 6th. Someone broke into a house and stole laptops, jewelry, and a Saints Super Bowl ring.
