Both times police were called to the Smith‘s grocery store at 4840 W. Desert Inn Road, near Decatur Boulevard, Metro dispatch records show.
The robber is described by Metro as a light-skinned black man who stands between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs between 180 and 190 pounds.
Police said he is between the ages of 20 and 30 years old and during both robberies wore a white face mask, black do rag, sunglasses, and white gloves.
