NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- A North Las Vegas man is under arrest in connection with several home invasions that involved victims over 60 years old.
According to police, 19-year-old Davon Lyons and an accomplice would follow elderly victims into their homes through an open garage.
The suspects would force the victims into their homes at gunpoint. One suspect would watch the victim, while the other ransacked homes looking for any items of value, including jewelry, electronics and money, police said.
In one case, the suspects cut the phone line, preventing the victims from calling for help.
The robberies happened between Feb. 11 and March 15 at two homes in North Las Vegas and one in Las Vegas. The five victims ranged in age from 73-years-old to 85-years-old.
Police say they arrested Lyons at his apartment and found stolen property, including two stolen firearms. He is also facing drug charges, because officers say they found marijuana and packaging for the sale of marijuana.
He was booked Thursday and is facing 23 felony charges many with enhancements because the victims were more than 60 years old, and the suspects used a handgun.
Detectives are searching for the second suspect in this case.
