When A-1 Security Central Station Manager Joannie Averett came across an overnight incident report recently, she couldn’t help but laugh. The words “Metro captured 2 naked suspects” said it all.
Thanks to an A-1 monitored system, authorities were able to arrest two men who they say broke into a model home in Las Vegas and then washed the clothes they were wearing in the home’s washer.
“I thought it was silly to risk breaking into a house just to wash your clothes,” says Averett. “The system worked and the operators took care of it. The crime was foiled, but I don’t see it was much of a crime. It’s more funny than a crime.”
The two suspects entered the unoccupied the model home, used to demonstrate features to potential homeowners, through the master bedroom window according to the incident report. Averett says A-1’s central station was immediately alerted and metro Las Vegas police officers were dispatched to the scene. Police found the two suspects fully naked next to the washing machine.
“This is such a serious business that when something like this happens, it’s nice that’s all this is,” Averett says. “It’s nice to get a chuckle once in a while.”
