Neighbors Return After Chemicals Removed From House
Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Police cleared residents to return to a northwest Las Vegas neighborhood that was partially evacuated Thursday night while local and federal authorities removed chemicals found in a house.

Residents living at  the 7600 block Adornment Court were evacuated after police and federal agents found possible bomb making materials at a nearby home. The home is located in the Northwest part of the valley near Buffalo and Farm.

Police discovered the suspicious materials when they went to the home to conduct a welfare check.

Neighbors were asked to leave overnight while authorities removed the chemicals, which officials have not identified. FBI Agent David Staretz describes them as commercially available chemicals, and says they were destroyed in the desert.

Centennial Hyundai has announced it is closing its dealership today due to economic conditions.

“This is not a termination of our franchise agreement with Hyundai, this is only a temporary closure, we plan to reopen this store within the next 18-24 months, or sooner as the business climate dictates,” said Superstore Auto Group President John Staluppi.

He also added that 90 percent of their workforce will be retained and will move to one of their other Las Vegas stores.

Staluppi said Planet Hyundai will extend its service hours to accomodate customers. He also added that, “Just like the gaming industry, the auto industry may have overbuilt these last few years as well.”
