A late-morning run to the bank turned tense on April 14 when a man walked into the Wells Fargo on West Sunset Road around 11:30 a.m. in what Henderson police say was an attempted robbery. No injuries were reported, and officers cleared the scene after speaking with staff. Detectives say the case is still active and they are asking the public for any video or witness accounts that could help identify the suspect.

History at the Crossroads branch
The same branch at 1411 W. Sunset Road has seen trouble before. According to FBI Las Vegas, this Wells Fargo was the scene of an attempted robbery in 2009 that resulted in multiple arrests. That earlier case, which involved suspects presenting a false federal search warrant to bank staff, underscores how visible retail corners can be targeted repeatedly.
How to help investigators
Detectives asked anyone with information or video related to the April 14 incident to call Henderson police at 702-267-4763 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555, per KSNV. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers, which may offer rewards for information leading to arrests. Authorities advise that anyone with potentially relevant footage contact investigators rather than approaching a possible suspect.
