In the Inspirada neighborhood near Via Firenze and Via Da Vinci, Henderson police are investigating an alleged animal cruelty incident after a small terrier was found deceased inside a black plastic garbage bag, which had been knotted shut and placed in a trash can. Initial discovery was made after a social media post alerted officials. The homeowners who found the dog are cooperating, and the Henderson Police Department’s animal cruelty unit is urging anyone with information to contact the department directly. This case is under active investigation and public assistance is requested, especially from those who may have seen suspicious activity in the area during the past week, as reported on KTNV.
Across the Las Vegas Valley, which includes Henderson, simple assault remains the most commonly reported crime so far in 2025 according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s weekly statistics highlighted by News 3 Las Vegas. Simple assault, defined as when a person threatens or attempts to hurt another person, continues to be prominent in the southeast area of Henderson. While the precise number of cases for Henderson city was not specified, the broader region’s data show that the highest frequency of simple assault reports currently comes from the adjacent northeast, southeast, and downtown commands, all just east of the I-15. The majority of these incidents remain under routine investigation; no specific descriptions have been released for suspects, and police have not sought public assistance in any recent Henderson simple assault cases.
During the Halloween weekend, law enforcement agencies working across southern Nevada, with participation from the Henderson Police Department, conducted a region-wide sex offender compliance operation. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, between October 27 and October 31, officers contacted 1,845 registered sex offenders, resulting in eight arrests for alleged failure to comply with registration laws and 11 additional arrests for various violations and outstanding warrants. Several of those arrested were found within Henderson’s jurisdiction. Compliance checks are continuing, and the operation reflects a continued emphasis on monitoring high-risk individuals in neighborhoods citywide.
No recent homicide or significant property crime has been highlighted in the city’s public safety summaries over the last seven days. The only animal-related investigation currently at the forefront involves the aforementioned incident in Inspirada. Henderson police remind listeners that Nevada’s recently passed Reba’s Law significantly increases penalties for animal cruelty convictions.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department also reported an increase in DUI enforcement efforts with blitz patrols over Halloween, but no specific statistics were provided exclusively for Henderson.
Overall, there are no new trends indicating a rise or spike of any particular crime category in Henderson this past week, though simple assault and animal-related offenses remain noteworthy. The pattern for the week suggests steady enforcement on compliance-based violations and ongoing investigations in both assault and animal cruelty cases.
Listeners with information regarding any of the mentioned incidents are urged to contact the Henderson Police Department’s non-emergency number or the animal cruelty unit directly. For anonymous tips, Crime Stoppers is also available. For all emergencies, dial 9-1-1.
