Carson City crime log: Attempted armed robbery ends with multiple arrests
An attempted armed robbery that happened early Sunday morning on Hot Springs Road ended with the arrests of adults and juveniles, a Carson City Sheriff’s Office sergeant said.
At around 12:45 a.m. dispatch received a 911 call from the victim of an attempted armed robbery who said two with masks and weapons briefly held him at gun point demanding cash and valuables, said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Nate Brehm.
As the victim attempted to retrieve valuables on his person, the suspects may have gotten spooked after seeing a car drive up to them. The suspects quickly got into a red sedan and took off. The victim was not hurt and called 911 dispatch, which relayed a message to sheriff’s deputies, said Brehm.
Deputies coming from multiple directions attempted to locate the vehicle. A deputy spotted a red sedan on North Carson Street occupied by several people within around 5 to 7 minutes of the 911 call. A traffic stop was made where five subjects, adults and juveniles, were detained. Deputies located weapons, bandanas and a mask. They were subsequently arrested for attempted robbery.
The matter remains under investigation. The names of the adult suspects and the charges will be released Monday.
In other arrests:
— A 28-year-old Herlong, Calif., man was booked into Carson City Jail on Friday, 1:35 p.m. for a misdemeanor contempt of court warrant. Bail: $500.
— A 45-year-old Fernley man was booked into jail on Friday, 1:35 p.m. for a misdemeanor contempt of court warrant issued Oct. 11, 2017 out of Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $3,000.
