Tiger escape

A tiger got loose from its cage in a northwest Las Vegas neighborhood Thursday night but was captured without incident, police said.

The tiger belonged to the Fernando Brothers magic act and was recovered by the owners shortly after it escaped about 9 p.m., Metro Police Lt. Les Lane said.

No one was injured and no charges will be filed, Lane said.

The big cat roamed Dorrell Lane, near Torrey Pines Drive and Deer Springs Way, before it was captured.
