Members of the New Orleans City Council have received several complaints and calls to action to address robberies at two Uptown restaurants and one barroom. The Council pulled together a special Criminal Justice Committee meeting with New Orleans Police Department's (NOPD) top brass to ask why these crimes are happening, and what other resources NOPD needs.

District A City Councilmember Susan Guidry said the robberies and other recent violent crimes are*"highly disturbing and have everyone on edge" and there's a sense that "violence is around every corner."

"The rash of robberies in high-profile establishments is not why we?re here today," said*Council President Jason Williams Jason Williams.*"The issue is they were brazen, they were planned, and the risk of harm to others is so high."
