Note: This news release contains
information that was initially thought to be accurate |
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles office at 4110 Donovan Way in North Las Vegas was burglarized about 1:30 a.m.
A suspect or suspects, who remain at large, drove a vehicle through the building’s rear windows and employee entrance. The equipment used to issue driver’s licenses was taken, including the digital camera tower, its associated computer, the license printer, driver license blanks and laminate seals. Nothing else was taken. Without being connected to the department’s computer application, the equipment has limited use.
North Las Vegas police and the department’s Compliance Enforcement Division are investigating.
The office, which issues commercial driver’s licenses, motor carrier registrations and express renewals services, is open but unable to issue driver’s licenses at this time. The digital license vendor, Digimarc Corporation, will replace the equipment as soon as possible.
Damage to the building is currently being assessed and the Nevada State Buildings and Grounds Division has yet to release a formal damage estimate. The Department of Motor Vehicles will post 24-hour security until repairs are completed.
