Residents urged to verify police ID amid Las Vegas impersonation crimes

Authorities are investigating two incidents in Las Vegas where suspects posed as law enforcement officers to commit crimes.

The first incident occurred just before the New Year in Summerlin, where a young suspect broke into a home, shouting "Metro" to impersonate a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer.

The suspect remains at large.

A week later, two men allegedly identified themselves as police officers before robbing four homeless individuals at an abandoned Walgreens on Boulder Highway.

This incident escalated into a lengthy standoff, resulting in the arrest of one suspect, while the other remains on the run.
