20-year-old man charged in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas robberies

Police have arrested a man in connection with a series of robberies that took place earlier this month in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas.

Investigators identified 20-year-old Bailey Hall as a suspect in four armed robberies that took place over about a week and a half, starting Aug. 14, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release.

A suspect entered four businesses, all of which were convenience stores or fast-food restaurants, with a large revolver and threatened customers and employees as he demanded money, Metro said.

Hall was taken into custody Tuesday evening and booked on three charges each of robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, as well as two kidnapping charges and a battery charge.
