LVPD Arrests Two in $120K Watch Theft at Wynn Encore

Las Vegas police have arrested two women suspected of stealing three high-end watches worth $120,000 from a guest at the Wynn Encore Resort. The theft occurred while the victim was asleep in their room.

The suspects, identified as Michelle Reaves and Jessica Ford, were seen at the resort again on Sunday, October 19, 2024. The LVMPD has investigated similar incidents where women were invited to men's hotel rooms and expensive watches were stolen.

In July, Maiah Meleschi was arrested for a similar crime at the Bellagio Las Vegas. In the latest case, Nikailah McMasters, another suspect, received a $1,200 transaction through Zelle from the victim's account. McMasters and Bailey Carr were apprehended and charged with grand larceny, residential burglary, and conspiracy to commit grand larceny. The stolen watches include an Audemars Piguet, a Rolex Presidential, and a Rolex Submariner 'Starbucks'.

The LVMPD continues to investigate the watch thefts at Las Vegas hotels. Michelle Reaves and Jessica Ford remain suspects in the Wynn Encore Resort case, while Nikailah McMasters and Bailey Carr await trial for their alleged involvement.
