Police descended upon Las Vegas' Bellagio Resort & Casino Saturday night and guests fled in panic from the property, flooding surrounding streets amidst false reports of an "active shooter."

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tweeted, currently investigating burglary at @bellagio. Initial reports indicated there was an 'active shooter' which was false. NO injuries. While, there was no active shooter, a high-end watch store at the property was burglarized by armed suspects.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Lt. Carlos Hank, said, at no point were any firearms discharged. The Bellagio was on lockdown after the incident for about 30 minutes. The store was not open at the time of the incident.

The suspects wore character masks, but Lt. Hank could not confirm the specifics of the mask. One eyewitness, though a woman saw a man wearing a pig mask (below).

Lt. Hank said early Saturday morning that some people were detained, but it is unclear if the detained individuals are burglary suspects. Police are continuing to search for suspects.
