LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Las Vegas Metro Police are asking for help identifying suspects involved in a crime spree targeting senior citizens around the valley.
According to a release sent Wednesday, the crime spree began back in February and has occurred in various parts of the valley. The suspects identify senior individuals wearing high-end jewelry and approach their vehicles to ask for directions.
After being provided directions, the suspects offer a prayer of gratitude and use it as a chance to remove the victim’s jewelry without the victim knowing. Police say they would then flee the area.
Police describe the suspects as Middle Eastern or Eastern European males and females, ranging from 20 to 60 years old, with distinct accents. The individuals have also been seen in several different vehicles during each of the incidents.
Anyone who believes they may have been a victim, knows who these suspects might be, or has any information about the vehicles the suspects may be driving is urged to contact LVMPD at 702-828-8577.
