Las Vegas police on Friday arrested a man they believe was involved in a dozen armed robberies across the valley since July, the department announced Wednesday.

Police believe Dwayne Reynolds, 19, entered several pizza restaurants, sandwich shops and convenience stores, pointed a handgun at clerks and forced them to give him all of the money in the stores' cash registers and safes, Metro wrote in a release Wednesday night.

Reynolds was arrested Friday and charged with four counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, four counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count of burglary with a deadly weapon, Clark County Detention Center logs show.

He is being held at CCDC without bail.
