I’ll never understand why people don’t front pocket their phones. Hope the suspects get slapped with felonies due to the costs of the phones.

quote:

A group of pickpockets stole over 70 phones in the French Quarter over the weekend as residents and tourists flooded the streets during the height of Carnival season, the New Orleans Police Department said. Four women and one man were arrested after detectives recovered 71 cell phones, multiple identification cards and credit cards that were believed to be stolen, police said. The pickpocketing picked up in the French Quarter starting on Feb. 13, police said. Christian Noela, 31, Rosa Freire, 59, Fernanda Almagro, 24, Joselyn Soque, 29, and Andres Ambo Chacaguasay, 18, have all been arrested in connection with the thefts.

With names like those, one could assume they are not from New Orleans and should actually be south of the Rio Grande.

It would be funny if those were bait cases with air tags.

My wife had hers stolen last year during a girls brunch on bourbon Friday before Mardi Gras.

I believe it was in Miami by lundi grass and gone from there.

I only counted 69 (nice) phones in those pictures.

Where are the other two, detective?
