Las Vegas burglary suspect surrenders after barricade situation
A barricade situation in the northwest valley ended after three hours Saturday when a burglary suspect surrendered to Las Vegas police.
Police were called to a burglary in the 3000 block of Breton Drive, near Cheyenne Avenue and Jones Boulevard, about 2 p.m. after the homeowners saw someone taking items out of the home, police said.
The suspect ran back inside when confronted by the owners, police said. The owners then called police.
A SWAT team and crisis negotiators were called to the scene. Nearby houses were evacuated during the barricade.
Officers surrounded the home but the suspect refused to surrender until about 5 p.m., police said.
It was unclear whether the suspect was armed. The person’s age and gender were not immediately available.
