Las Vegas, NV - Newly released aerial footage shows Las Vegas police using the grappler tool to catch a carjacking suspect last month.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police say they deployed the grappler while trying to take Vincent Farmer into custody on Aug. 18.

Farmer was accused of taking his ex-girlfriend's car after pushing her out of the vehicle. As officers responded, police say they learned he also had a warrant out of Nye County for attempted murder.

Officers found Farmer and used the grappler -- a device disguised as a bull bar that launches a netting around the rear tire and axle of a car - to bring him to a stop on U.S. 95 north of Kyle Canyon Road.

"As you'll see in the video, the tool allowed our officers to bring this dangerous situation to a successful and peaceful resolution," the post reads.

Las Vegas police have used the grappler before, but the device attracted new attention in recent days after the use of one in Michigan ripped the rear axle clean off a stolen car.

Jail and court records show Farmer, 41, remains held at Clark County Detention Center.

He faces charges of robbery, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, domestic battery, battery on a protected person and drug possession, on top of his warrant from Nye County.
