Tensions Ease In A La Vista Neighborhood

Many law officers, including an Emergency Response Unit, had set up a perimeter near 68th and Heartwood Road in La Vista late Wednesday afternoon after a woman called police saying she had been kidnapped.

But, the SWAT team left mid evening, though a man had still not left a home.

La Vista Police Chief Bob Lausten said police didn’t feel there was a threat to the neighborhood, but that officers would keep watch in the area.

La Vista Police Captain. Jeremy Kinsey told 6 News it started in Omaha when a woman had sent a message to a friend saying she had been kidnapped and brought to a home in La Vista.

Responding officers found nothing, but as they were about to go back on patrol, the woman came out of the house saying a man had barricaded himself inside.

Omaha Police are assisting in the investigation.
