Las Vegas police ask public’s help in Heller letter case

Las Vegas police are searching for a “person of interest” in connection with a threatening letter left Sunday at Sen. Dean Heller’s office in Las Vegas.

The Metropolitan Police Department released security footage Wednesday of a white man with a gray beard who is described as heavyset and in his 50s. He was wearing a black baseball hat, a short-sleeved collared shirt and shorts.

Police responding to a burglary alarm Sunday morning at the Republican senator’s Las Vegas office, 8930 W. Sunset Road, found the note by the office’s door. Police have not disclosed the note’s contents, citing the continuing investigation.

Anyone with information about the incident or the “person of interest” may contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
