NOPD Searches for Subject Accused of Filing False Armed Robbery Report

Craig Campbell

NEW ORLEANS - The NOPD is searching for a subject wanted for filing a false police report about an armed robbery that investigators now believe did not occur.


Craig Campbell (DOB: 09/28/1979) is wanted for criminal mischief- filing a false report. Campbell is believed to be about 5'8" in height and weighs around 140 pounds.


On Wednesday September 5, 2018 Campbell reported to NOPD Eighth District officers that he had been the victim of an armed robbery in the 400 block of Burgundy Street. Two persons were arrested in connection with the incident.


A subsequent investigation determined that the alleged robbery did not occur.


One of the arrested subjects, D’Angelo Powell (DOB: 01/14/1998), remains incarcerated on unrelated charges. The other arrested subject is no longer in custody.


Anyone with information on this incident or the whereabouts of Craig Campbell is asked to contact the NOPD Eighth District at 504-658-6080 or call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 and toll-free at 1-877-903-7867.
