Metro looking for 2 people in grocery store incident

Las Vegas police need the public's help identifying a man and a woman said to have tried to steal from a grocery store in the northwest valley more than a month ago.

Metro released pictures of a man they said attempted to steal "some merchandise" from a grocery store near Cheyenne Avenue and Durango Drive on Aug. 2. He is known to frequent the area, police said.

A woman who worked at the store tried to stop the theft. The man threw something at her, causing minor injuries to her face, police said.

Police also released an image of a woman police said may have drove the man away from the store.

Metro asked anyone who recognizes these people to contact Metro's Robbery Section at 702-828-3855.
