Multiple thefts at Target stores leads to arrest of Las Vegas man, Harold Joseph Michael on February 5th. Mr. Michael, of Las Vegas, was arrested by Henderson police in connection to multiple thefts at Target stores, located here in the Las Vegas Valley. Target loss prevention has estimated the thefts amounted to thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise, including electronics.
The suspect has been charged with multiple felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, which include, burglary, grand larceny, petit larceny, conspiracy and possession of burglary tools. Additionally, Detectives believe the suspect is connected to additional thefts from several stores in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas.
Theft crimes in Las Vegas are aggressively investigated by local police agencies, and if arrested, suspects are typically surprised by the multiple offenses that they are charged with. For example, if an individual entered a Target store here in Las Vegas, with the intent to steal a big screen television, with a value of $2,000, he could be charged with theft, grand larceny, and burglary. A burglary offense in Las Vegas, Nevada occurs when an individual enters another’s property, whether it be their home or business, with the intent to commit a felony within, and this is why Mr. Michael was charged with burglary, in addition to multiple other theft related crimes.
