LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill told members of the media two men dressed in all black arrived at Piero's around 2:19 a.m. One of the suspects was on a scooter and placed the explosive near the unoccupied building, which detonated minutes later causing some damage.
The bombing was not reported to LVMPD until around 10:36 a.m. when the building's cleaning crew found the aftermath.
"When we arrived, it became obvious to us that device had exploded," McMahill said.
LVMPD said there is no further threat that they are aware of or investigating. Both suspects are still outstanding.
