13 Things to do in Las Vegas this week: March 11-17 - KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) As gas prices continue to soar across the nation, many are taking desperate measures by stealing gas from cars.

Stacy Houston woke up to all give of her work cars showing they were on empty.

We came in to go so when one didnt work, we jumped in the other and the other and started checking all the gages and were like oh my God all of our gas, Houston said.

She realized this week she was the latest target for gas thieves. They opened her gas tank door and siphoned out her diesel fuel from her pick-up truck.

At the time, she had her work cars parked in front of their office on Flamingo Road where there were no surveillancecameras.

They are huge, one of them is a 14-foot box truck that is like $200 worth of gas, Houston said.

She is the owner of BIO-Clean Team, her livelihood depends on responding to clean-up calls any time of the day or night for homicides or suicides.

I understand people are hurting but we are all in the same position we are all paying for the same gas, unfortunately, some of us are running emergency vehicles and we need fuel, she said.

Houston says she has now decided to move her vehicles closer to her home where she can monitor them more closely.

Victor Botnari is the owner of Universal Motorcars, and tells 8 News Now he has gotten a few calls for people who have had damage done to their gas tanks because of gas thieves.

TONIGHT: Gas thieves are making their way around the valley. Stacy Houston woke up to all of her work vehicles emptied out. We also spoke with owner of Universal Motorcars who says he has gotten a few calls regarding this issue. @8NewsNow #8NN pic.twitter.com/Ncv5lQfilY

This could be two or three thousand dollars easy in some of the cars, Botnari said.He had a replacement gas tank at his shop for a customer who had a gas thief drill a hole into their gas tank.

He said bigger cars are easier targets because of the straight fuel pipe.

There are some tips you can take so you arent the next target for gas thieves, such as parking in a garage or buying a gas cap lock.

Robin Lehner has left the Vegas Golden Knights on their road trip and is returning home to undergo testing for a lower-body injury.

Lehner has started the last few games for the Golden Knights including a loss vs. the Philadelphia Flyers on March 8, a win vs. the Ottawa Senators on March 6, a loss vs. the Boston Bruins on March 3, and another win vs. the San Jose Sharks on March 1.

Hes been in and out of the lineup this year, and was first sidelined on December 21. He ultimately missed five games with a lower-body injury before being sidelined again on February 15 with an upper-body injury. He once again missed five games of play, returned to the lineup, and is once again in a position where he can miss some time.

This season Lehners played in 38 games, and has saved 0.28 goals above average, and 11.02 goals above expected according to Evolving-Hockey. Laurent Brossoit, his backup, has posted marks of -4.68, and 1.2 in each respective category. Logan Thompson has been called upon for two games this year, and in that small sample has saved 1.41 goals above average, and 0.63 goals above expected.

The Golden Knights currently sit in third place in the division with a record of 32-22-4 and 68 points, and trail the second place Los Angeles Kings by three points. Vegas is up on the Edmonton Oilers by two points, with Edmonton currently trying to bump Vegas back into a Wild Card spot currently being headlined by the Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars.

When completely healthy upfront, it is fair to say this Golden Knights team would be able to hold on for a bit without Lehner. But this team isnt healthy, and while adding Jack Eichel has been a big boost, the absence of Mark Stone is felt tremendously.

This is what we know for now, and we will update you when we learn more. Tonight the Golden Knights are in Buffalo to take on the Sabres, and it will be a very important game for a returning Jack Eichel.

For more on that storyline, you can read his breakdown by Knights on Ices own Jillian Wagner.

National average gas prices continue to climb as the global oil market responds to Russias war against Ukraine.

Stacker compiled statistics on gas prices in Las Vegas (NV only) metro area using data from AAA. Gas prices are as of March 10.

The average price per gallon rose 8 cents on Wednesday, March 9, to a new record of $4.25, according to AAA. Records are being set daily: Tuesdays $4.17 per-gallon average broke a longstanding record of $4.114 per gallon from 2008.

Sanctions levied by the U.S. and the European Union have hindered Russia's ability to sell crude oil, which is a major determinant of gas prices. While just 3% of America's crude oil consumption comes from Russia, global volatility is contributing to rising prices in markets around the world.

LETTER: Writer is correct about difficulty of getting water to Las Vegas from the Northwest - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Spring temperatures in Reno are increasing faster than anywhere else in the nation, according to a study looking at more than five decades of climate data.

Over the past 52 years, the average spring temperature in the city has increased by 6.8 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Climate Central, a nonprofit organization that analyzes and reports on climate science. The organizations report looked at national trends in average spring temperatures above normal since 1970.

The city with the second-most-dramatic increase in average spring temperatures was also in Nevada. Las Vegas has seen its average spring temperature jump 6.2 degrees Fahrenheit over the same period.

The Climate Central study analyzed historical data from 242 locations across the country for the months of March, April and May.

Scientists measure spring a little differently than the average person this year, on most peoples calendars, spring starts March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere. This coincides with the spring equinox and is referred to as astronomical spring.

Scientists, however, have split the calendar year into four chunks, each three months long, to standardize measurements. For scientific purposes, meteorological spring runs from March 1 to the end of May.

Of the 242 locations studied, 97% showed an increase in average spring temperatures, with about half seeing average temperature increases of 2 degrees Fahrenheit or more.

According to the study, Reno now averages 36 more days annually above previous normal temperatures while Las Vegas averages 30 more days.

The spring season is not only warming, but also arriving earlier. This leads to events such as longer mosquito and allergy seasons. It can also lengthen the growing season, impacting agricultural producers.

According to the USA National Phenology Network, spring leaf out (when plants transition from budding to leafing) is up to a month early in many locations across Western states.

Complete 911 call made by Clark County School District Police

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) The 8 News Nows I-Team has obtained the 911 call that led to the arrest of Brandon Toseland, 35. Toseland is accused of killing his girlfriends son, Mason Dominguez, 4, whose remains were found in the freezer in the garage of a home on Saddle Brook Park Drive in the northeast valley.

The call came into 911 dispatch the morning of Feb. 22 from a Clark County District School Police officer requesting a welfare check on a home.

The school police officer said school staff believed the students mother had contacted the school through notes she sent with her daughter as a plea for help telling school officials her boyfriend was holding her hostage and that she feared her son was dead.

In the call, the officer explains the first-grader handed the notes to a social worker when she walked into school. Administrators checked the childs school records to verify the mothers handwriting.

Please help, send police, there are guns in the house, read the note.

The call ends with the dispatcher saying police are responding to the welfare check.

An arrest report first reported by the I-Team details police found Masons remains in a freezer. Detectives believed the remains had been there for at least 10 weeks. Police also found a large hole in the backyard that may have been intended as a grave, the 8 News Now I-Team first reported.

Masons mother told police that she was locked in a room and separated from her children for months, and that she had not seen her son since Dec. 11, 2021.

The mothers attorney Stephen Stubbs said Masons mother and her older daughter were often locked in separate rooms, but that she devised a plan in December 2021 to write notes for help to send through her daughter.

A pen and sticky notes were in the car, and the mother was only able to access them for a few moments at a time, when she was hand-cuffed alone in the car as Mr. Toseland dropped off or picked up the 7-year-old daughter from the gate across the street from the school, Stubbs said. Fearing death if she was caught, the mother was able to write notes, little by little, and hide them from Mr. Toseland. 8 or 9 sticky notes were written. Then, 2 days before the rescue, Mr. Toseland finally allowed the mother to sleep with her 7-year-old daughter, and the mother coached the daughter on what to do.

Toseland currently faces two counts of kidnapping and one charge of open murder. He is due back in court Apr. 7.

Below is a partial transcript of the call Feb. 22 at 8:34 a.m.

Metro police: Metro Police Millington 16057, how can I help you?

CCSD police: Hey Metro, its school PD on a recorded line.

Metro police: Hi.

CCSD police: Hey, I need to set up a welfare check please.

Metro police: Whats the address?

CCSD police: Its gonna be 4307 Saddle Brook Park.

Metro police: Alright, and is this a house?

CCSD police: Yes. So this is all we have, we have a first-grader [REDACTED] that handed some sticky notes, or like post-it notes, to the social worker this morning when she walked into the school. They thought that she had found it in the cafeteria. So, reading the notes, they found that shes stating, basically, the mom said please help, send police, there are guns in the house. And they have a Metro officer name Contact Las Vegas Metro Police Department officer, name Southeast Command Ryan Levy.

Metro police: Okay, so it says, please help, send police, there are guns in the house, contact LVMPD officer Ryan Levy?

CCSD police: Yes.

Metro police: Okay, so it looks like the mother gave those notes to her daughter.

CCSD police: Yes, and we didnt know, originally the principal said we found it in the cafeteria, and I said did you guys go back to the cameras to see who put them there? So then she said said no, it was a social worker they gave it to. So I go back to the address (on the note), I look it up, and it goes back to the first grader there. Its her address. Theyre also giving me a plate, it says 601ZZX on another note and it says white Nissan Altima. And it says please help, call my mom or sister, tell them to call police for welfare check. And then on the other note, it says theres guns in the house. So, the student, shes in class, theyre gonna pull her out and theyre gonna bring her into the office, but we just wanted to set up that welfare check with the mom. Mom most likely gave that to her daughter.

Metro police: Okay, so the note said that about the license plate?

CCSD police: Yes.

Metro police: Okay, so do you know when she actually gave the note?

CCSD police: This morning at 7:40.

Metro police: Okay.

CCSD police: So the writing, now that the principal went to the registration folder, the handwriting is the moms writing. They verified the address with the application she filled out for registration, so its mom writing the note. And something about [REDACTED], hes the dad in there listed. So I have moms name and date of birth, and the father thats listed.

Metro police: So one of the notes also mentioned [REDACTED]?

CCSD police: Yes, which is the father listed on there.

Metro police: Okay, give me one moment.

CCSD police: And then [REDACTED], which is listed as dad, last name [REDACTED], same as the girl, so it is dad So, we have an officer who is gonna be making contact at the school with the principal I dont know if you guys have a report like that with your officer.

With NFL teams open to discuss contracts with free agents in just one week, lets continue to look at potential free agents who make sense for the Las Vegas Raiders.

That leads us to Carolina Panthers pass-rusher Haason Reddick, who could be one of the more interesting free agents available.

Like several potential free agents fits, Reddick could make sense for the Raiders to pursue because he has ties to the new coaching staff.

He played for the Carolina Panthers last season. Jason Simmons is the new defensive passing game coordinator for the Raiders. He was Carolinas passing game coordinator and secondary coach the past two years. Also, Las Vegas new defensive line coach is Frank Okam. He was the Panthers defensive line coach last year.

Reddick played right outside linebacker in the Panthers base defense last year. Still, Simmons and Okam are extremely familiar what Reddick could bring to the Raiders defense. Reddick had 12.5 sacks with the Arizona Cardinals, who drafted him in the first round in 2017, in 2020. Reddick, who turns 28 in September, signed a one year $6 million deal with the Panthers last season.

At first glance, adding a pass-rusher may not be Las Vegas biggest need because they have Maxx Crosby and Yannick Ngakoue. Both players were outstanding last year and both are entering the final year of their contract. So, adding another big-money player (Reddick will not come cheap with his sack success the past two seasons) as a pass-rusher may be difficult.

However, if the new staff thinks Reddick is a great fit, I can see them making a run at him.
