Sparks Police have arrested Daniel Aguirre, 27, following an attempted robbery at the Best Buy on Los Altos Parkway on January 4. Aguirre was apprehended after a series of theft-related incidents in the area.
According to Sparks Police, the incident began at around 4:00 p.m. when Aguirre attempted to steal two occupied vehicles in the parking lot of Red Robin. The drivers of both cars quickly drove away from the scene.
A Best Buy Loss Prevention staff member later identified Aguirre, who attempted to flee on foot when officers arrived. After a brief foot chase through a nearby Costco parking lot, Aguirre was captured without further incident.
