North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Detectives in North Las Vegas need help identifying a juvenile who is potentially responsible for more than 12 cases of vandalism in one North Las Vegas neighborhood.

During the last two weeks of October, a neighborhood near Centennial Parkway and Revere Street was struck by a vandal who targeted tires on vehicles. Twelve victims have already come forward but detectives believe there could be more.

The incidents occurred on Oct. 16, 26 and 27 in the 6100 block of Dogwood Falls Court, the 700 block of Azure Banks Avenue, the 600 block of Dry Valley Avenue, the 6000 block of Magic Mesa Street, and the 1300 block of Crescent Moon Drive.

The suspect appears to be an Asian or Hispanic male juvenile, about 11-16 years old, with dark hair and small build. He may attend a nearby junior high school or live in the area.

Anyone with information is urged to call the police department at 702-633-9111 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

Tips leading to an arrest or an indictment called into Crime Stoppers may result in a cash reward.
