NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify and locate a pair of burglars who targeted a Gentilly stone business. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

According to police, the crime happened a little before 5 in the morning on Dec. 14 at the US Stone Outlet in the 3100 block of Elysian Fields Avenue. Police also released some security camera footage from the business that shows some of what happened.

In the video, a white pickup truck is seen driving up to the business. Another clip shows two men inside the business after breaking open a door.

Workers say that the thieves were able to break through a gate to get onto the property, but the worker did not know what was stolen.

At one point, it appears that a burglar tried to cover their tracks by diverting the angle of one of the security cameras at the business.
