LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A Northwest Las Vegas homeowner is feeling violated after she says roughly 200 teens broke into her home and threw a party while she was out of town.
At about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jamie Lewis says she got a call from Metro Police, asking if she was having a party.
“Of course I said no, and to be fair, I really thought it was a fake call,” Lewis says.
She says it’s not until her husband got a call from neighbors that she realized what was unfolding in their home.
“Seeing the videos, and realizing that we needed to get home, we needed to cut our trip short,” she says.
Lewis posted a video of the party online. It shows an estimated 200 teenagers in her home, on her countertops, partying, after she says the group kicked in a door in her garage and made themselves at home.
“The feeling of being, first of all, vandalized and then just 1000% being violated is something that you just don’t ever want to have to deal with,” Lewis says.
Video from neighbors shows Metro Police arriving, and the group scrambling.
Lewis’s neighbor, Joe Neal, says some teenagers jumped over his back fence and ran through his backyard.
“77 years old, and to hear a bunch of noises, and look in your backyard, and it looks like there’s a hell of a party going on and you weren’t invited,” Neal says.
He says, one teenager even pushed him aside as they cut through the lock on his side fence to evade police.
“Who comes to a party and brings bolt cutters?” Neal says. “They’re not somebody wanting to party, that’s somebody wanting to steal.”
Lewis says she filed a report with Metro Police, but she’s taking it into her own hands to figure out the identity of the teenagers involved.
“I have to do something about this,” she says. “I cannot let this happen to somebody else.”
Turns out, it has. Lewis says, since sharing her story online, she’s heard similar stories from across the valley.
“It’s called a mansion party, and these kids go from house to house to house, sometimes multiple houses in the same night. They charge money at the door, they bring in a DJ,” Lewis says.
She says she doesn’t know how the group knew her home would be empty. She’s hoping by sharing her story, she can prevent this from happening to anyone else.
“Be vigilant for your property, if you see a strange car, if there’s too many kids in your neighborhood, something feels off, call the police right away,” Lewis says.
Metro Police Officers confirmed they responded to Lewis’s home Saturday night for a “juvenile disturbance.” They say they issued two citations, one for a “vehicle stop” and one for a “person stop.”
Their investigation is ongoing. FOX5 will update you as we learn more.
