NEW-ORLEANS —

The NOLA force was involved in a fourth incident in just a few days on Thursday involving a car theft.

The accident occurred around 2:15 p.m. at the corner of South Claiborne Avenue and Toledano Street in Central City.

The NOLA squad said a car was driving recklessly while stopped at a traffic light in Central City.

The police managed to surround the car and prevent a chase. The police found weapons and drugs in the car.

The suspect has not yet been identified and it is unclear whether charges will be filed against him.

According to the NOLA force, officers conducted more than 90 traffic stops, resulting in six stolen cars and 19 arrests for serious crimes and misdemeanors.

The first accident of the week occurred after a chase that began along Elysian Fields and ended at Annette and Johnson’s in the Seventh Ward.

On Tuesday, a chase that began in the CBD ended in Lakeview. Several arrests were made and a civilian was injured when the vehicle the suspects were in collided with their vehicle.

A chase near Elysian Fields on Wednesday ended in a crash on I-10 at Orleans Avenue. Officials said there were no injuries. One person was arrested.

The New Orleans Police Department has been involved in a settlement with the government for the past twelve years.

Part of the policy states that Louisiana police are not allowed to conduct chases unless it is done under certain guidelines, but Louisiana State Police are not required to follow the same guidelines.

William Snowden, a law professor at Loyola University, said there should at least be an understanding of what the NOLA force can and cannot do.

“One of the concerns about chases is the danger they put other people in. There have been a number of injuries in recent chases involving LSP,” Snowden said.

WDSU has reached out to the Governor’s Office and NOPD regarding guidelines for the NOLA force.
