Police are looking for a pair of suspects involved in a home burglary on November 21, 2007. The home is in the northwest part of Las Vegas.

Police say the duo forced their way into the home and stole several items of jewelry.

The house had a security camera aimed at the front door. On the video you see the male suspect walk up to the door and knock several times. Then a female suspect approaches and knocks.

Both the male and female are seen on camera jumping the side wall. They got inside the house through a back door.

A third suspect, not seen on camera, is believed to be driving the getaway car.

Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555 or LVMPD Property Crimes Section at 828-3573.

With no suspects and little evidence, police asked the public for patience as they investigate the suspected kidnapping of a young Reno woman and appealed to friends and neighbors again Friday to offer up even the most “inconsequential” information they may have about her mysterious disappearance six days ago.

Crime lab technicians have yet to determine whether a stain on a pillow at the suspected crime scene is the blood of Brianna Denison, Reno police spokesman Steve Frady said Friday.

The 19-year-old college student hasn’t been seen since about 4 a.m. on Sunday when she went to sleep on a couch at the home of a friend a few blocks from the University of Nevada, Reno, campus, about a half-mile from the downtown casino district.

Police questioned a man about a missing 19-year-old college student but said he is not a suspect in her disappearance.

The man was interviewed because he had given a ride home to Brianna Denison’s friend the night Denison mysteriously vanished, police said.

“We have spoken with the person who was driving the Suburban that we were looking for originally and he is not involved in the case,” Ron Holladay, a Reno police commander, said Wednesday in an interview with CBS’ “Early Show.”

Denison was last seen at 4 a.m. Sunday. Police said she was sleeping on a couch near an unlocked glass door after a night of partying. When her friends awoke later that morning, she was gone — but her clothes, purse and cell phone were left behind.

Police are looking for a woman who attempted to rob a bank on Blue Diamond and Valley View.

On January 18th, police say a white female entered the bank and stood in the merchant line.

When she approached a teller, she handed over a blue bag that contained a note saying, “robbery, don’t be a hero, start with a stack of 100’s and a stack of 20’s, no funny money“.

She was seen leaving into a black BMW with a commemorative plate.

Police ask you to call Robbery at (702) 828-3591 or Crime Stoppers at
