Five people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a string of burglaries reported around the west Las Vegas valley in the last few months, police say.

Three of the suspects - Raven Queen, Antonio Washington and Denzale Lee - have been booked into Clark County Detention Center, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.

The other two - Lamonte Butler and Howard Cavitt - are being held in Southern California and are awaiting extradition.

Police say they have been investigating 11 reports of burglaries targeting properties near golf courses in the Summerlin Area Command since October last year.

In each case, the perpetrators would get into homes through a desert area, golf courses or walking paths.

LVMPD said it activated its major case protocol and added extra patrols for the area.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact LVMPD's Summerlin Area Command at (702) 828-9455 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
