Washoe County Sheriff's Office detectives investigating a series of vehicle burglaries that occurred early last Friday morning in Spanish Springs are asking for help from the public with identifying the suspects.
Sometime between 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. on Friday, July 27, 2018, three separate vehicle burglaries occurred in the residential area off West Calle De La Plata. Two persons then attempted to use a credit card stolen from one of the vehicles at businesses in Spanish Springs and Sun Valley.
Detectives obtained surveillance photos of the suspects. Those photos, including a close up of a distinctive tattoo on the left arm of the male, are attached to this release.
Anyone with information about the two suspects shown in these photos is asked to contact the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (775) 328-3320 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900. Refer to case number: WC18-3566.
