Manager At A Store And Pranksters Grab Door To The Back Office.

Location: Nevada

I was managing a store in Nevada. I had some pranksters come in with their camera's trying to get footage. I wasn't sure what the prank was until one of the guys was trying to get behind the register. Once that happened, I told him he was not allowed behind the register. I was going to go in the managers office so I could call the non-emergency police phone number because this prank was getting to be dangerous. When I opened the back office one guy grabbed the door. I knew I had hundreds of dollars sitting on the desk so I was definitely worried. We fought over the door and I began to square up because I was thinking I was going to have to fight this guy. When I did that he backed down. I just closed the door and called 911 I for sure thought the law had been broken. I got the pranksters license plate and the cops came and told me no law was broken and the plates didn't come up as anything. They said probably out of state. I couldn't believe no law was broken. So, can someone shed some light on this. I was always told breaking and entering didn't need anything broken but I get there's a difference between private and public property. This was the back office to where money is stored how is it legal to grab the door from someone trying to close it? Were any laws broken?

Nevada’s burglary statute differs from public expectations. Under NRS 205.060, a person commits burglary when they enter a building, home, vehicle, or other protected structure with the intent to commit a separate crime, such as grand larceny, petit larceny, false pretenses, assault, or any crime involving obtaining money or property.

This action I witnessed would fall under intent to commit burglary, would it not?
