💰 Cloud-Filled Robbery Attempts in Summerlin
Criminals are using fire extinguishers to create cloud-filled distractions during holdups. It happened at a Summerlin nail shop and was attempted just two miles away in the parking lot of Costco. [KVVU]
🚨 Eight Arrested in Ambitious Drone Theft
There’s so much you could do with 600 drones. Start your own air force? Maybe an avocado toast delivery service? But we’re still waiting on the motives of a crime ring that police say stole more than a million bucks worth of drones in Henderson. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
📬 New Jersey’s Prison Mail Sent to Vegas
So many people are using mail to smuggle drugs into New Jersey prisons, the Garden State needed to do something about it. The solution? Send it all to Las Vegas, where it’s screened by a third-party service (for $700,000 💰) before being shipped back across the country. [NJ.com]
