Manhunt Monday - Keith Stewart

Keith Andre Stewart is a black male adult, 25 years of age, standing 5'11" tall and weighing approximately 160 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. His last known address was in the 3100 block of Soaring Gulls Drive in the West part of Las Vegas. Stewart is a repeat offender who has victimized numerous individuals.

On June 16, 2008, Metro Police say Stewart and a male accomplice rang the doorbell of an occupied residence in the Northwest part of Las Vegas. The homeowner looked through the peephole and did not recognize the men, and decided to not answer the door. Instead, the victim quietly went into another room of the house and began to call the police. As the call was being made the homeowner heard a noise in another part of the residence, and discovered the suspects had forcibly entered the home. The suspects fled on foot, and were captured a short time later by arriving patrol officers.

Stewart was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center. He was released on bail a short time later, and has failed to appear in court as required. Because of this criminal activity Stewart is currently wanted for:

• Burglary, and
• Conspiracy to Commit a Crime.

On January 9, 2009, Metro Police say Stewart and a female accomplice rang the doorbell of a different home in the same general area of Northwest Las Vegas. Once again the occupant did not recognize the suspects, and simply returned to the upstairs portion of the home. A short time later the two suspects broke a rear window and entered the home, stealing a firearm. Arriving patrol officers quickly located the fleeing suspects, and again arrested Stewart.

 

Because the warrants from Stewart’s previous crimes had not yet been issued, he was once again released on bail, and again failed to appear in court as required. Because of this most recent criminal history, Stewart is wanted on additional warrants charging him with:

• Burglary,
• Home Invasion, and
• Conspiracy to Commit a Crime.

Stewart’s criminal history includes other arrests for:

• Possession of burglary tools,
• Home invasion,
• Attempted grand larceny, and
• Conspiracy to commit home invasion.

Anyone with any information concerning the whereabouts of Keith Andre Stewart is urged to contact the L.V.M.P.D. Fugitive Detail at 828-3578 or Crime stoppers at 385-5555.
