Explosion Investigation Leads to Arson Arrest in Las Vegas A recent investigation into an early morning explosion in Las Vegas has resulted in the arrest of Robert Schwieger on charges related to conspiracy to commit arson, first-degree arson, and the use of explosives. The incident, which occurred in front of a business, involved two suspects who placed a package that detonated. Authorities had previously apprehended John Navarro in connection with the case. Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department have apprehended 52-year-old Robert Schwieger in connection with a pre-dawn explosion that rocked a local business. Schwieger was taken into custody on Wednesday and subsequently booked into the Clark County Detention Center. He faces serious charges including conspiracy to commit arson, first-degree arson, and the use of an explosive device to damage or destroy property. The incident under investigation was reported at approximately 10:36 a.m. on the day of the explosion, though the blast itself occurred much earlier, around 2:19 a.m., directly in front of the targeted establishment. According to the police report, investigators pieced together the events leading up to the detonation. Their findings indicate that two individuals arrived at the business premises. One of the suspects approached on foot, while the other utilized a scooter for transportation. The suspect who disembarked from the scooter was observed carrying a package. This individual proceeded to place the package directly in front of the business's entrance. Eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage suggest that the suspect then appeared to ignite a fuse attached to the package. Following this action, both suspects quickly fled the scene. Mere minutes later, the placed package detonated, causing significant damage and raising immediate concerns for public safety. This development follows the earlier arrest of a second suspect, identified as 35-year-old John Navarro. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department had previously identified Navarro as being involved in the incident. Navarro was located and taken into custody on November 15, 2025. He was also booked into the Clark County Detention Center, where he currently faces charges related to the possession, manufacture, and disposal of an explosive device, in addition to first-degree arson. The ongoing investigation aims to fully ascertain the motives and extent of involvement of both Schwieger and Navarro, as well as to identify any other potential accomplices. The police department is urging anyone with further information regarding this case to come forward and assist in their inquiries. The community remains on alert as law enforcement continues its efforts to ensure accountability and prevent future occurrences of such dangerous criminal activity
