Metro seeks 2 men in Sunday robbery — VIDEO
Las Vegas police are asking for the public’s help in finding two men in connection with a robbery Sunday morning in the south valley.
Just after 11 a.m. Sunday, a man walked into a store in the 5900 block of Eastern Avenue, near Russell Road, posing as a customer, police wrote in a release Wednesday.
A second man entered the store and pointed a handgun at two store employees.
The two men forced the employees into the back office where one of the men tried to open the safe. The second robber took cellphones and money from the office, stashed them in bags and both men fled in a waiting vehicle.
Police described the first robber as a man about 5-feet-3-inches tall, weighing about 130 pounds with short, braided hair. He was last seen wearing a blue, long-sleeved T-shirt and dark pants, police said.
The second robber was described as a man between 5-feet-6-inches and 5-feet-8-inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He was last seen wearing a light colored hat, a dark shirt and dark pants.
