Officers returned the Torah to its owner and said that no arrests have been made and that investigation is ongoing.
The artifact was taken from a convention room at The Venetian where the victim had left it. The Torah had been in the convention room since June 8 until it was taken by an unknown person.
In July, police released surveillance video of a man walking through the resort pulling a suitcase on wheels. He was described as white, 25 to 35 years old, about 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-2 tall. The man was wearing a black hat, a green shirt and dark-colored pants.
