Shreveport Police Seeking 2 Separate Felony Theft Suspects

Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department's Property Crimes Unit are on the lookout for two men wanted for stealing from a local business.

Curtis Newman and Joseph Coleman are both wanted for felony theft from the Bert Kouns Industrial Loop Home Depot.

Curtis Newman is a habitual offender and was identified because of his history with repeated retail theft. Detectives reviewed Newman's history and found out that he has eight theft arrests and four convictions. He also has three pending theft charges pending in Bossier District Court. SPD has two warrants out for his arrest for thefts linked to this store.

Joseph Coleman is wanted for theft in the same location. Coleman made the genius move of showing his Louisiana ID to a clerk during a fraudulent return. A felony theft warrant is currently out on Coleman for his arrest.

From SPD:

"Retail theft affects local businesses and consumers alike. The Shreveport Police Department remains committed to investigating and prosecuting these crimes.

If you have any information about the whereabouts of Curtis Newman or Joseph Coleman, please contact the Shreveport Police Department at 318-673-7300 or Caddo Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373. Callers may remain anonymous."
