Metro Police say this man, who was wearing a Clark County Detention Center shirt, is wanted in the robbery of a business in the 5000 block of West Charleston Boulevard on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017.

Metro Police say they are looking for a shotgun-wielding man who robbed a business Tuesday while wearing “unique clothing” — namely a Clark County jail shirt.

A surveillance photo shows a masked man with a gun at a door, while a second picture shows him from the back wearing a shirt marked CCDC, or Clark County Detention Center.

The man entered the business in the 5000 block of West Charleston Boulevard and robbed employees before fleeing on foot, police said. Police believe the man may be in his 20s, between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 160 pounds.

Anyone with information is urged to call Metro at 702-828-3591 or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or online at crimestoppersofnv.com. Tips directly leading to an arrest or indictment processed through Crime Stoppers may result in a cash reward.
