Police need help finding the two men who robbed a Las Vegas bar last month.

About 4:20 a.m. on June 22, two armed men forced patrons and employees to lie on the ground as they robbed the Five Star Tavern located at 2425 N. Rainbow Blvd. Both robbers had their faces covered and were wearing all black clothing, police said.

The Metropolitan Police Department said Tuesday it is also looking for two witnesses who may have critical information about the incident. The witnesses can be seen in a surveillance video the bar provided to police.
