NEW ORLEANS — Three armed and masked suspects were caught on surveillance video threatening a man in his driveway before beating him and stealing his vehicle Wednesday in New Orleans East.
The crime occurred around 4 p.m. in the 13000 block of Willowbrook Drive.
The NOPD said the three suspects, seen all wearing masks and pointing guns at the victim, demanded his keys. The victim refused and he was hit several times with the handguns and forced to surrender his keys.
In the video you see the suspects walking by the driveway and the victim then appears and begins to look in the bed of his truck. That's when all three of the suspects pull out guns and approach the man. He puts up his hand and they and he go off camera.
The suspects then return and get in the car. The victim opens the back door but pulls back when a gun is pointed at him. The suspects then fled in the car and the man, appearing dazed, goes to the ground.
The victim was said to have multiple contusions and a laceration to his head.
