Friendly Hobbies, a hobby shop on Rancho in Las Vegas, reported that a radio‑controlled car was stolen from its store on Sunday. Store manager Conor Cason said the suspect entered the shop, appeared to browse, and waited until employees were occupied before taking the vehicle.
Details of the alleged theft
According to Cason, “The customer came in kinda looking around and looks like he waited until all of our associates were busy with other customers and then grabbed one of the cars.” The shop captured video of the individual and posted it on its social‑media channels, hoping the community can identify the person.
Call for community assistance
Friendly Hobbies is urging anyone who recognizes the suspect in the video to reach out directly to the store or to the Las Vegas Police Department. The shop hopes that a quick tip will lead to the recovery of the stolen property and help keep the local hobby community safe.
