Robbery suspect

Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a convenience store in the area of Rainbow Road and Westcliff Drive this morning.

The suspect entered the store carrying a claw hammer, made the clerk lock the door of the business and then bound her legs and hands with duct tape. The man took all of the money from the register, several packs of cigarettes, cigars and a bottle of wine and fled the business.

He was last seen wearing a green mask, tan T-shirt, black hooded sweatshirt, tan pants and black boots. He is described as 5-feet-6-inches tall and 140 pounds.

Anyone with information is being asked to call the Metro Police robbery section at 702-828-3591 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
