NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - An 11-year-old was arrested for breaking into cars 22 times.
“My concern is, you have video games and kids are playing these games. They are re-enacting it in the street. This is someone’s life that they are actually jeopardizing,” says NOPD Chief Shaun Ferguson.
“I was like ‘that looks like a little kid,’ and I was just shocked,” says the victim.
Kids are getting arrested across New Orleans for car break-ins, carjacking, and even murder.
“The majority of kids that commit the crimes now aren’t doing small petty crimes anymore. They want to do big stuff,” says D.J. Jubilee.
