31.10.09
Dozens of local and federal law enforcement agencies are sweeping the Las Vegas Valley for the most dangerous criminals. Operation Trick or Treat is a widespread effort to help make sure children Valleywide are guaranteed a safe and fun Halloween.
More than 17 local and federal agencies partnered with Nevada child seekers for it. Authorities say it focuses on sex offenders and is spearheaded by the US Marshals.
“51 arrests in the Valley this round alone. It has been by far our best Operation Trick-or-Treat. We've been operating Trick-or-Treat for three years now, and this is probably double the number of arrests than we had last year,” said Gary Orton US Marshal of District of Nevada.
The operation has also netted murderers, drug dealers and robbers.
