Las Vegas police looking for suspect in convenience store robberies

Las Vegas police are searching for a suspect in a string of convenience store robberies early Tuesday morning.

Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon said the suspect’s description in each of the three robberies throughout the central and east-central Las Vegas Valley were similar as were some details.

Two 7-Elevens — one at 2683 S. Maryland Parkway and the other at 4180 E. Sahara Ave. — and a Circle K at 2475 S. Nellis Blvd. were robbed between 1 a.m. and 1:40 a.m., Gordon said. In each of the robberies, Gordon said, a man between 19 and 23 years old pulled a silver handgun and demanded cash from the clerks. They all complied, he said.
