From July 28th, 2011 through August 8th, 2011 numerous Las Vegas hotels and casinos received bomb threat phone calls. The caller appeared to be disguising his voice and was demanding large amounts of money. He threatened to detonate the bombs and destroy the properties if the victims did not meet his demands.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Counter Terrorism Section immediately initiated an investigation into these calls and learned the suspects were attempting to use sophisticated devices to conceal their identity and location. LVMPD Counter Terrorism Detectives were able to learn the suspects were making the calls from Ventura County California.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Department was notified and a joint investigation was initiated. On August 10th, 2011 the Ventura County Sheriff's Department and members of the LVMPD Counter Terrorism Section served a search warrant in Ventura County in support of this investigation. Detectives recovered several pieces of key evidence to include the suspected devices used to make the calls. Two suspects, one adult and one juvenile, were identified as being involved in making these calls. Zachary Jackson was arrested and booked into the Ventura County Sheriff Department's Detention Center on charges of Making False Bomb Threats and Attempted Extortion.
LVMPD Counter Terrorism and Cyber Crimes Detectives will be examining the devices recovered for additional evidence. Some of this evidence may potentially identify new incidents and victims.
