Two Las Vegas Police Officers Injured Responding to Larceny, Four Suspects Detained

On the evening of August 1, two Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers were injured while responding to a petty larceny call at a business in the 4100 block of Blue Diamond Road. Officers attempted to detain four suspects who were fleeing in a vehicle, during which one officer was dragged as the vehicle sped away, resulting in serious but non-life-threatening injuries to two officers. The suspects eventually crashed the vehicle, and four individuals were taken into custody. Additionally, an unrelated collision involving a box truck and an LVMPD vehicle caused minor injuries, and the initial suspect and driver also sustained minor injuries. The incident prompted road closures between Hinson Street and Arville Street as the investigation continues, with no weapons believed to be involved. Authorities confirmed all suspects are in custody, and the injured officers were transported to University Medical Center for treatment.
