Biloxi police are looking for a couple they say attended a New Orleans Saints game illegally.

Biloxi police Major Christopher De Back said in a news release the couple is wanted for questioning regarding a theft that happened at the IP Casino Resort on Dec. 17. A purse was reported stolen from the casino that contained two Saints box seat tickets for the Dec. 24 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

A photo from inside the box shows this couple, but they are not the people who purchased the tickets.

“The tickets were IP Casino box seats,” De Back said. “Someone took some photos because they didn’t recognize the people — they very well may have bought the tickets.”

The Saints won the game 13-23.

If you have any information regarding the incident, call Biloxi police at 228-435-6112.
