Another alleged affiliate of the high-profile Scattered Spider network of cybercriminals has surrendered himself to police in Las Vegas.

The unnamed male teenager faces criminal charges of obtaining personally indentifiable information to harm or impersonate, extortion and unlawful computer use, the Las Vegas Police Department said.

He will face the alleged charges as an adult, the US prosecutors said.

The apprehended teenager is alleged to be a member of the dispersed Scattered Spider organisation, which also goes under the names of Octo Tempest, UNC3944 and Oktapus.

He is alleged to have taken part in what the police say were sophisticated network intrusions of multiple Las Vegas casinos, which were probed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Cyber Task Force in the city.
