Updated February 26, 2021 - 7:28 am

Las Vegas police have arrested a man they say was involved in 11 robberies in the Las Vegas Valley in recent weeks.

Geovani Baltadano, 30, was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on 31 felonies including burglary and robbery with a deadly weapon.

Police said Baltadano was arrested after a man entered multiple businesses, produced a weapon, demanded money and then fled. One of the robberies took place in the 4900 block of East Charleston Boulevard on Feb. 7. The locations of the other robberies were not immediately released.

Baltadano was expected to be in Justice Court on Tuesday for a status check on his case.
