Metro is investigating a rash of burglaries in the Summerlin area near Hualapai Way and Desert Inn Road.

Aurora Malan is a homeowner and says, "I never thought I'd be living in literally like a state of fear being the fourth house that's broken into in three weeks."

Malan made a quick run to the store last Thursday and came home to a surprise. Malan says someone broke into her home.

"They've taken my peace of mind and I'm spending thousands of dollars to upgrade my home so this never happens again."

She's not alone, the same thing happened to Debbie Hansen. Her family was home at the time and her husband rushed downstairs when he heard a big crash.

These homeowners are taking action, upgraded security systems, lights, locks and window protections and more.

It is putting the rest of the neighborhood on alert so those responsible don't dare to return, unless they want to get caught... Read More
