Attempted Burglary Suspected as Two Cars Crash into North Las Vegas Businesses Early MorningSource: Google Street View

Early Wednesday morning, a pair of vehicles were used to barrel through the exteriors of two neighboring North Las Vegas businesses in what police believe to be an attempted burglary. Descriptions of the incidents reveal no reported injuries, according to KTNV. Officers were called to the scene at 5:30 a.m., where they found a silver Hyundai Elantra that had smashed into a business at the 300 block of W. Craig Road.

The adjacent store, a firearm business, was also a scene of similar destruction, as a black Kia Optima had crashed through its front as well. However, detectives at this time do not believe anything was stolen from either of the businesses, an intriguing detail considering the forceful entry. The North Las Vegas Police are continuing to probe into the circumstances behind these events. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the police at 702-633-9111 or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.

The nature of these invasive incidents, targeting a smoke shop and the aforementioned firearm business, points to a premeditated act, as noted by further insights from FOX5 Vegas. With both locations having been closed to the public during the time of the crashes, the culprits' efforts were shrouded in the predawn quiet.
