LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Henderson family is still reeling from a recent theft of their car on Monday, only for the perpetrators to return the next day.
Mike Del Prado shared surveillance footage from their home near Anthem Parkway and Eastern Boulevard with 8 News Now capturing the movement on Monday just before 5 a.m. Two figures appeared to walk right up the Del Prado driveway to steal a Tesla Model S.
“It looked like they were using a repeater because they were fuddling around with something in their hand it managed to open my trunk which means the fob was still in the proximity,” Del Prado explained. “It will extend the signal and make the car react.”
He showed 8 News Now how they entered the casita where his daughter stayed. Unfortunately, the door was unlocked. They were able to get the key and take off.
The family tracked the Tesla and Henderson police recovered the car after processing it. The thieves returned Tuesday morning around 3:30 a.m. and jumped the fence from Anthem Parkway.
