Las Vegas police have released surveillance images and are asking for the public’s help tracking down a man wanted in an armed robbery that happened May 21 near Maryland Parkway and East Pyle Avenue. Investigators say the holdup took place shortly after 2:30 a.m. at a business near the 700 block of East Pyle, and the suspect took off before officers arrived. Police described him as a white man, about 30 years old, roughly 5'10" and 200 pounds.
In the surveillance stills, the suspect is seen in a black hoodie, black face mask, dark jeans and black shoes. Police say he was carrying a black semi‑automatic handgun, according to FOX5. The station published the photos after investigators distributed the images to the public, and the pictures were credited to LVMPD in the release that accompanied them.
How to pass tips
Detectives in the department’s Commercial Robbery Section want anyone with information to call (702) 828‑3591, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Those who prefer to stay anonymous can reach Crime Stoppers of Nevada at (702) 385‑5555 or submit a tip online. Tips that lead to arrests may qualify for a cash reward.
Detectives' appeal
Releasing the stills is part of a focused canvass of nearby businesses and available surveillance footage as detectives work to generate leads, FOX5 reported. Police are urging residents and business owners in the area to check phones and security systems for any images or video that might show the man in the photos. Investigators stressed that anyone who spots a possible match should contact police rather than try to approach the suspect themselves.
