Police: 2 Sought In Break-in At Wayne Newton Home In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police are looking for two suspected burglars who eluded officers overnight after a break-in at the estate of longtime Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton.

Las Vegas police Officer Jacinto Rivera said Thursday that Las Vegas police responded to a burglary about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday at Newton's home several miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip.

The 76-year-old "Danke Schoen" crooner and his wife, Kathleen Newton, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the intruders fled when the couple arrived home following Newton's show at Bally's.

The couple say they were not physically harmed.

Newton family spokeswoman Tricia McCrone didn't immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press.

The Newtons told the Review-Journal they've now bolstered security at their 20-acre home and believe that home surveillance video will help police identify the suspects.
