Metro Nabs Burglars
Three suspects attempted to enter the La Mesa Restaurant in Logandale through ductwork on the roof just before 2 am on April 12. After failing to obtain entrance through the roof, the three forced their way through the front door, setting off an alarm and alerting the owners who called LVMPD. After a seven hour search using K9 units and a helicopter, the three suspects were identified and arrested.
