LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Las Vegas Metro police said they have collected amounts of evidence from last month's hanging mannequin incident at city billboards. Police, though, have not made any arrests.

On Wednesday, police released close-up pictures of the mannequins collected from the Aug. 8 vandalism.

Metro said the Graffiti Investigation Section of the department's Gang Crimes Bureau is looking into the incidents.

The hanging mannequins were connected to three billboards that adorned messages such as "Dying for Work" and "Hope You're Happy Wall St."

Police said the billboards affected were at Interstate 15 and D Street, I-15 and Desert Inn Road and Interstate 515 and Sahara Avenue.

Investigators noted the dummies were extremely light weight and appeared to have been homemade.

Police urged anyone with information on where they were made to call Metro's Gang Crimes Bureau at 702-828-3309 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
