Barricade ends in northwest Las Vegas; suspect not at home

A barricade situation is over in the northwest valley Saturday evening after officers determined a suspect wasn’t inside the home, Las Vegas police said.

Metropolitan Police Department officers were called about 6:30 a.m. Saturday to a carjacking on the 8300 block of West Charleston Blvd., Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Richard Myers said. The investigation led officers to a home on the 8500 block of Cheerful Brook Ave., near Grand Teton and Durango drives where officers believed a suspect was refusing to exit a residence.
