Metro seeks help finding pair in northwest home burglary

Metro is seeking the public's assistance in identifying a man and a woman involved in the burglary of a northwest valley home and possibly thefts from neighborhood mailboxes.

A residence near North Grand Canyon Drive and West Lone Mountain Road was burglarized about 2:30 p.m. Jan. 14, police said.

A white male in his mid to late 20s standing about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 170 pounds broke into the home, took items and left in a mid-2000s silver Lexus sport utility vehicle, police said. The man is bald, has a full-sleeve tattoo on his right arm and possibly tattoos on his left arm.

The Lexus, last seen with Nevada license plate 687-LJR, was driven by a Hispanic female with brown hair and thought to be in her 20s, the release said. The license plate was discovered stolen and might no longer be on the vehicle.

Metro investigators said the man had been seen in the vehicle several days before the burglary and after the burglary following mail carriers in the area. The pair might also be involved in theft from area mailboxes.

Anyone with information about the identity or whereabouts of the man and woman or the vehicle is urged to call the Northwest Area Command Investigations Section at 702-828-8577.
