Raging flood waters hit the northeastern part of Clark County last night.
Around 2 a.m., LVMPD received reports of people trapped in their vehicle in the Overton area.
In fact, an older couple had pulled off the highway to get some rest. But a short time later, torrential rain sent floodwaters in their direction.
This is video taken by our LVMPD Northeast Resident Section officers who worked in coordination with our Air Unit and Search and Rescue to save lives.
The Air Unit arrived just in time as the couple's van filled with water to about chest level. They were hoisted out of the van and brought to safety.
Officers lined up to send her home as she continues to recover from her injuries 💙
We appreciate all of the concern and well wishes for Ofc. Tomburo.
The officer was transported by arriving officers to UMC Trauma and is currently in stable condition.

#OnePillCanKill
Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is launching a social media campaign about the
dangers of counterfeit pills. Fentanyl is showing up in drugs and pills coming across the
border from Mexico. Teenagers think they’re taking a prescription pill, but the Drug
Enforcement Administration says 40% of counterfeit pills coming into the United States
contain deadly amounts of fentanyl.
Clark County experienced a 196% increase in fentanyl-related overdoses between
2019 and 2020. Adding to the alarm, LVMPD narcotics detectives see a growing
number of middle school kids trying pills, not realizing the deadly consequences. In
2020 and 2021, Clark County lost 16 kids under age 18 to fentanyl overdose.
Detectives say many of the victims had no idea what was in the pills they took.
LVMPD’s social media campaign aims to warn teens as the summer kicks in and
parties ramp up. Teens are encouraged to share the videos with their friends. Parents
are encouraged to talk to their kids about the dangers of taking any pills that are not
prescribed to them by their doctor.
LVMPD requests our media partners help spread the word by sharing the videos on
social media, websites, and on air. Interviews are available with LVMPD subject matter
experts. Thank you for partnering with us to prevent additional loss of life.
LVMPD Summerlin Area Command, led by Capt. Dave Sims, opened their doors to the Muslim and Interfaith community for Night of Power (Laylat Al Qadr).
We gathered together for a special dinner as worshipers broke their fast on one of the holiest nights of Ramadan.
Our hope is that tonight, and every night, people of all backgrounds will know LVMPD is here to serve, protect, and embrace them.
A special thanks to Silver Sage Foundation for making this event so special.
