LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas police helicopter filmed and assisted with the capture and arrest of a man who police say stole a car on Tuesday.
Officers were first notified about a stolen car around 11 a.m. , but when the the Metropolitan Police Department’s helicopter AIR2 found the vehicle, the man in the car took off “at a high rate of speed” into oncoming traffic, the department said in an X post.
The video taken from the helicopter shows the car driving the north in a southbound lane on Fremont Street at a high speed before entering a neighborhood near Rancho Drive and Mesquite Avenue.
The man is later seen in the video outside the car running through backyards, a school, across rooftops and a courtyard before officers arrested him in a neighborhood with assistance from two police dogs.
“Remember: Don’t steal cars and it’s pretty hard to outrun the helicopter,” the X post said.
