Two alleged sexual predators have been captured in Las Vegas, Metro Police said today.

Acting on tips from citizens, detectives from Metro's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit arrested Gary Walter Laatz, 53, of Las Vegas and Pedro Pablo Mancilla-Sanchez, no age given, of Las Vegas.

Laatz is charged with 11 counts of possession of child pornography and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center today. The Internet Crimes Against Children Unit discovered a computer and computer disks containing child pornography, police said.

Mancilla-Sanchez was arrested and taken to the Detention center on Friday, charged with five counts of child pornography. Detectives said they found a computer owned by Mancilla-Sanchez containing photographs of children between 2 and 16 years of age.
