LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Northwest Las Vegas family whose livelihood was threatened by a burglar hopes to identify the person who blackmailed their security cameras and stole their trailer.
Within three minutes, the thief managed to steal the family’s trailer while they slept just a few feet away inside their home on June 10 in Centennial Hills, near the intersection of Centennial Parkway and Fort Apache Road.
“Everything in this area felt very safe and that’s why we felt very uneasy knowing this could happen to us,” explained one of the victims.

They realized the trailer was gone when all that was left were tire tracks in the garage. The culprit was caught on video painting security cameras, with limited success.
“You can still see what he’s wearing,” one of the victims said.
The trailer was empty, they said. However, the family depends on this for their livelihood and insurance has not helped. The family said the trailer is easily identifiable, with a large gash on the passenger side.
A police report has been filed, they said, and if anyone can identify the man in the security camera footage, they should contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The LVMPD non-emergency phone number is 702-828-3111 or via 3-1-1.
