NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Rashes of car break-ins in New Orleans has one man fed up and fighting back.
Although he still has to replace his window, he came up with a deterrent that chased away the would-be thief Friday night.
“To see him like gleefully walk up and just smash my eighth window in the past couple months and jump in and then you know to see the detonation go off and his reaction,” the man described.
Surveillance video shows that the window-smashing thief triggers his loud, non-lethal triggered deterrent set up in the center console of the truck.
“He probably didn’t get hurt that bad, but it wasn’t pleasant and it might deter him and his friends and tell other people not to do this too because, without something like this, there is no consequence because they’re not going to get arrested,” he said.
