Police In Las Vegas Seek Thief Who Stole Box With Cancer Drug

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police in Las Vegas are looking for a package thief who made off with a delivery box containing what a mother reported was $40,000 worth of cancer treatment drugs for her 14-year-old son.

Officer Laura Meltzer said Tuesday that investigators hope someone will recognize the man seen on security video during the mid-day Thursday theft from a home in a northwest neighborhood.

Police released a photo from the video showing a man believed to be in his 20s wearing sunglasses and a red plaid shirt carrying an orange and a soda can that he left before taking two packages and walking away.
