Las Vegas police seek mohawked or ponytailed robber
Las Vegas police are asking the public for help in finding a man they say is behind a string of business robberies this month.
The man police are searching for enters businesses posing as a customer, police said. When the store employee opens the register, the man flashes a handgun and grabs cash from the drawer.
One of the robberies happened just before 3 a.m. Sept. 3 at a 7-Eleven in the 3600 block of South Fort Apache Road, near West Spring Mountain Road.
Police describe the man as between 24 and 34 years old, standing 5-feet-8-inches to 6-feet tall and weighing between 150-160 pounds.
He has a goatee, sideburns and either a ponytail or a mohawk haircut, police said Tuesday in a news release.
