There has been some recent misinformation regarding the number of crimes / armed robberies in the Second District in recent weeks. It seems that much of this misinformation has been coming from a couple of local media outlets. This morning, a local media outlet reported that there were 50 carjacking incidents around Newman School. That information is completely and utterly FALSE.

As reported via this Email Blast last week, there was a carjacking at Newman School. There were no other incidents at Newman. Letâ€™s set the record straight.

From Jan 1, 2008 to date (2 months), there have been three carjacking robberies and one armed robbery in the area from Broadway to Marengo; Tchoupitoulas to S. Broad (over a 1 mile radius which encompasses over half of the Second District). The robberies were reported via the Email Blast and are as follows:

1. Carjacking at Jefferson and Daneel (Newman School)

2. Armed Robbery at 5500 S. Robertson. Randy Lewis and a 15 year old Juvenile were apprehended and arrested in this case.

3. Carjacking at 1700 Upperline. Greg Williams and Anthony Landry were apprehended and arrested in this case.

4. Carjacking at 4300 Coliseum. James Hill and two 16 year old Juveniles were apprehended and arrested in this case.

We will continue to report every single armed robbery/carjacking that occurs in this district. Please do not listen to rumors, innuendo or inaccurate media reports.
