Las Vegas police are seeking the public’s help in identifying two men in connection with a string of armed robberies.
The crimes took place on March 12 in the southwestern part of the valley. The men in question demanded money at gunpoint. They then fled after receiving money. One incident was caught on tape and shows one of the suspects going behind the counter and punching an employee in the face.
One man is described as 20 to 30 years old, standing approximately 5 feet 9 inches high and weighing about 160 pounds. He was last seen in a dark sweatshirt, carrying a handgun.
The other man, who hit the employee, is described as 20 to 30 years old, approximately 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. He was last seen in a plaid sweatshirt with a scarf around his mouth and nose.
