Las Vegas police<\/a> said Thursday they arrested a man on suspicion of riding a dirt bike through the gaming floors of \u201cmultiple casinos,\u201d and up and down stairs and escalators. He is also accused of \u201cdoing wheelies\u201d along Las Vegas Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Images released by LVMPD show the arrest of the \u201creckless rider,\u201d left, and his bike being towed. His identity remains a mystery. (Image: LVMPD)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Police didn’t name the casinos or reveal the reckless daredevil\u2019s<\/a> identity. But in a social media post announcing the arrest, they published a photograph of the detainee in handcuffs. A large emoticon is superimposed over his face and he wears a T-shirt bearing the legend: \u201cTill the Fuckin\u2019 Wheels Fall Off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspect, described as a \u201cknown reckless rider,\u201d has been charged with numerous offenses. These include felony counts of a driver disobeying a police officer and of endangering a person or property, four gross counts of reckless driving, and one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

R.A.I.D.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe rider thought he would never get caught. Our R.A.I.D. Team was able to conduct surveillance along with marked units, and the air unit was able to take this #RecklessRider into custody without incident. His truck and dirt bike were towed,\u201d read the tweet Thursday by LVMPD Traffic Bureau.<\/p>\n

\n

The arrest is mysterious not simply because the name of the suspect has been withheld. Casino.org<\/em> has been unable to find any recent video footage of a biker riding through Las Vegas casinos or any social media chatter about an incident that would have likely attracted significant attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Established in March 2022, \u201cR.A.I.D.\u201d is LVMPD\u2019S Racing Apprehension and Intervention Detail unit, which focuses on the rising trend of illegal street racing and street takeovers in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Street Takeovers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Street takeovers involve a crowd of people gathering to block traffic while drivers perform often dangerous stunts.<\/p>\n

Over and over and over again, we see them losing control, hitting people, going into the crowd, causing multiple injuries,\u201d<\/strong> R.A.I.D.’s Lt. Daryl Rhoads told local media in April. \u201cWe knew we couldn\u2019t allow this activity to happen on our Strip when we have a million tourists that are in town. If this infected our Strip and our tourist corridor, it could really hurt Las Vegas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rhoads added that without the intervention of the R.A.I.D team, the problem in Las Vegas would be much worse. \u201cWe\u2019ve brought this RAID team into Las Vegas before Las Vegas became like an L.A. We had the foresight to see this problem emerging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In the first year of its existence, R.A.I.D. made 185 arrests, cited 238 people, and towed 215 cars, according to Rhoads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
