Police zeroing in on home invasion suspect

Las Vegas police are zeroing in on a man who broke into a woman’s home, robbed her and stole her van earlier this month, but they still need the public’s help.

On Wednesday, police released photos of Jessica Holley, a person of interest in the case. She is not a suspect, but police said she knows the man identified in various surveillance photos. Police also released a short video of the suspect.

Metro said the man broke into a woman’s home on Feb. 1 about 4:30 a.m. on Grace Street in the southeast valley. He held the woman captive while he stole things from her home, including her van. The van has since been found by police.

The suspect was described as a white man in his 20s or 30s. He has a tattoo on the back of his neck, police said.

Metro said the man is now suspected in other residential robberies, burglaries and car thefts.

Anyone with information about Holley or the man can contact the police department’s robbery section at 702-828-3591. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
