Uptown burglaries subside with repeat offenders’ arrests

By |

The wave of burglaries across Uptown neighborhoods has hit a welcome lull of late after the arrest of a handful of repeat offenders, police said Wednesday. What had been more than a dozen burglaries a week in September has quieted down to just two or three this week and last, statistics for NOPD’s Uptown-based Second District show. Two suspects in particular, Nathan McDaniel and Keith Warner, are each believed to have been involved in a number of break-ins, investigators said at the district’s weekly meeting Wednesday. On Friday, police were called to a Dollar General store that had just been broken into, and the video surveillance there showed a man coming through the window and taking phones, said Sgt. Marc Amos of the NOPD Second District property-crimes division.
