Local law enforcement arrested 10 people and say they've busted two auto theft rings.

The Viper Auto Theft Task Force involves officers from Metro, North Las Vegas, Henderson and the Nevada Highway Patrol.

The suspects were taken into custody as police acted on tips and set up sting operations.

Police are still trying to track down two more suspects in connection with the theft rings — they are looking for Jesus Viera and Cesar Vasquez.

  1. JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES….THAT SHOULD TELL OUR GOVERNMENT SOMETHING, NEED TO GET RID OF THESE ILLIGALS AND THEIR COHARTS, IF OUT GOVERNMENT WOULD STAND UP TO THESE ILLIGALS AND GET RID OF THEM WE WOULD AVOID ALOT OF THIS TYPE OF STUFF. QUIT TRYING TO MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME, THEY NEED TO BE KICKED OUT AND IF THEY GO TO JAIL SEND THEM TO ARIZONA WHERE THE SHERIFF THERE MAKES THEM WORK, THEN CHARGE THEIR FAMILIES FOR THEIR KEEP, NOT OUR TAX DOLLARS. OH YES IF THEY WERE KICKED OUT I CAN SEE THAT OUR SCHOOL PROBLEMS WOULD BE ALOT BETTER. IF THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE THEN LEARN OUR LANGUAGE, PAY TAXES AND “EARN” THE SOCIAL SECURITY THAT WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET, WE CAN’T WALK IN AND GET “FREE” SOCIAL SECURITY, HUMMMMMMMM, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? FIRST THINGS FIRST, GET RID OF THE ILLIGALS AND ALOT OF OUR PROBLEMS WOULD START TO GO AWAY, OR AT LEAST OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF DOING THEIR JOB.

  2. what if they are legally here? My take is that u put all of them in jail and make them pay restitution. I say this because there are more american car thieves than any other. Also there is no intrastate conmpact with arizona and unless they stole a car and went across state lines to Ariz WHICH WOULD MAKE IT A FED CAse the ariz sherriff will just have to wait. We have plenty of prisons here plus we needthe money!

  4. Car thieves are like horse thieves. Those people were either shot or hanged. Too bad we can’t do the same now days.

  6. I THINK IT’S UNFAIR TO SAY THOSE THINGS OF ILLIGALS BECAUSE AS FAR AS I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL PROBLEMS, SHOOTINGS AND ALL ARE NOT HISPANICS NOT THE ONES THAT COME OUT ON TV AND NOT ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURES ARE NOT HISPANIC SO STOP USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE RACISIM IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE THIS WORLD WORSE. LOOK AT IT AS FOR WHAT IT IS CRIME, NOT RACE GROW UP! AND DONT BE A HATER ALL RACES HAVE CRIMINALS

  7. All of you people writing in should learn how to spell. When you try to make a point and spell incorrectly it makes you seem stupid!!!

  8. Did you bother to look at the pictures? Not all of the photos posted are hispanic. Personally, it is ridiculous to think that race has anything to do with it. As a recent victim of auto theft, it is obvious that the problem is a result of financial difficulties and drug related issues. Do I agree with criminal activity for any reason? Of course not. Sadly, my home has been burglarized twice in three years and my car stolen this month. I am angry about all of it but there is nothing that can be done. No one will be arrested or even go to jail since the police do not consider these matters to be as important as violent criminal activity. Fortunately, I was able to make the police fingerprint my vehicle yesterday when it was actually recovered as it may be tied in with our recent home burglary. The police were extremely resistant to do so and they were not very helpful. They even failed to retrieve all items from the vehicle that would have been evidence. They simply were not concerned. I have been told by many that it is extremely rare to have police recover stolen vehicles and even more rare to have them investigate and process them.
