ProjectNOLA

CBD, New Orleans — Project NOLA leads to arrest of yet another robbery suspect.

This evening, Project NOLA led the NOPD Eighth District and LSP Troop NOLA to the swift arrest of Derricka Womack, who was wanted for last week's robbery in a CBD hotel lobby.

How it happened:

* A Project NOLA LFR camera on a Canal Street business detected Womack entering the area.

* This triggered an automated tip to nearby LSP troopers and a manual telephone alert to NOPD detectives, resulting in an immediate response.

* Project NOLA assisted throughout the investigation by providing critical camera footage and initially naming Womack as a possible suspect.

Close Call: We got a little lucky today. Womack headed toward an area of the CBD known by local criminals for lacking Project NOLA cameras. Fortunately, we were able to track her using a distant camera in the French Quarter until the arrest was made.

Closing the Gap: We won't have to worry about that blind spot for much longer! A property owner who witnessed the arrest was so impressed they immediately offered to host a Project NOLA LFR camera on their block.

Case closed and camera blind spot solved. Thanks to everyone for working together to keep New Orleans safe! 🛡️⚖️
