A busy intersection in east Las Vegas came to a standstill as police cordoned off the area in search for a robbery suspect. According to FOX5, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has taken some suspects into custody in connection with a robbery that occurred near Charleston Boulevard and Honolulu Street. However, one individual remains at large as of Friday evening.

The pursuit has led to a heavy police presence and, consequently, traffic disruption. The area "will be inaccessible during the search," Metro told FOX5. The RTC of Southern Nevada sent out a stark traffic notice advising motorists that Charleston and Honolulu have all lanes blocked due to the ongoing police activity, creating a gridlock for those looking to navigate the east of downtown Las Vegas.

Further details regarding the specifics of the robbery or the number of suspects initially involved have not been released at this time. The search for the remaining suspect prompted officers to close off the major thoroughfare, signaling that they consider the individual potentially dangerous or in possession of critical information pertinent to their investigation.

The closure of these busy streets highlights the seriousness of the situation, as Metro police leave no stone unturned in their investigation. A representative from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department confirmed they will continue to investigate the area, as reported by 8NewsNow.

As the investigation unfolds, updates will be provided. Both FOX5 Vegas and 8 News Now have promised to relay new information to the public as it becomes available, ensuring transparency and awareness for the concerned citizens of Las Vegas.
