On Saturday (Oct. 29) at about 9:40 p.m., a deputy with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office was on routine patrol and located a stolen vehicle parked at the 7-11 store in Orchards.  A male suspect was seen getting out of the vehicle and going into the store. 

The deputy requested additional deputies but before they could arrive the suspect came out of the store. The deputy attempted to contact the suspect who fled on foot. The deputy gave chase and took the suspect into custody a short distance away.
