NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - At around sundown Wednesday, a St. Claude Avenue bar owner says messages started rolling in about an armed robbery at another nearby bar.
"(I got a text) from another bartender and then another bartender, saying there had been a robbery at St. Roch Tavern right up the street," Allen said.
Allen, who co-owns Siberia, then heard reports of more crimes in the area.
"Basically, there was a crew out robbing, heads up," he said, recalling the alerts.
