Residents in northeast Las Vegas valley want action taken against influx of unregistered vehicles

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Unregistered vehicles are a common sight across the Las Vegas valley and residents in the northeast valley told 8 News Now they haven’t seen much action being taken to combat the issue.

No license plates, no air in the tires and no sign of leaving the northeast valley neighborhood near Pecos Road and Carey Avenue. Dale Stone has lived there for over three decades and told 8 News Now that cars like that started showing up two or three years ago and he rarely sees them leave.

“There’s been about 13 to 15 complaints on this same problem and nothing’s been done,” Stone said.

Stone said he and his neighbors have made requests through FixIt, Clark County’s problem reporting app, but haven’t seen solutions.

Stone said for the most part, the issue is unregistered vehicles that take up space and sit there for a long time, but at the worst, it’s a burned-up camper sitting in the road.

“People are not held accountable. That’s my personal take on it. They’re just not held accountable,” Stone said.

He reached out to his Clark County Commissioner, who referred him to the Constable’s Office which has a hotline for abandoned cars. Stone heard the same message most callers hear.

“It may take up to ten to 20 days for the vehicle to be checked,” declares a pre-recorded answer message.

But in those 10 to 20 days, Stone said the cars will be moved to other parts of the community.

“They’ll unload them at one corner, and the next thing they’ll be in another corner,” Stone said.

He never expected this issue when he moved in more than 30 years ago, but the area has changed since then.

“Considering the part of town we live in, it’s really not surprising, and it’s not surprising that we don’t get response from anyone,” Stone said. “Because we don’t live in a classy neighborhood.”

“Haul them off. Make people comply,” Stone said.
