NLV Police seek to ID suspect in tire vandalism

North Las Vegas Police are asking the public’s help identifying vandalism suspect who has been damaging car tires in a northern neighborhood.

Police said the suspect — described as an 11- to 16-year-old boy with dark hair and a small build — might be responsible for more than 12 cases of vandalism in the neighborhood near Centennial Parkway and Revere Street.

In one case, surveillance video shows a boy riding a scooter up a driveway and puncturing tires on a vehicle, police said.

The incidents occurred Oct. 16, 26 and 27 in the following locations: the 6100 block of Dogwood Falls Court, the 700 block of Azure Banks Avenue, the 600 block of Dry Valley Avenue, the 6000 block of Magic Mesa Street and the 1300 block of Crescent Moon Drive, police said.

Detectives said 12 victims have come forward, but they believe there could be more.

It’s possible the suspect attends a nearby junior high school or lives in the area, police said.

Anyone who has been a victim of this type of vandalism in the area should file a police report online via the city’s website (www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com).

Police ask anyone with information to call the department at (702) 633-9111 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or online at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
