NEW ORLEANS — Like many folks in New Orleans, city councilman Jay Banks is fed up with scenes like this.
“This is just totally frustrating,” said Banks. “This is going on way too much and the frequency of it seems to be increasing.”
Tuesday morning, a member of Banks’ family was added to the list of car break-in victims. Luckily, Banks says there were no weapons in the car, but keys were stolen.
