Metro Police are seeking the public's help to find a man who robbed two businesses near the Best of the West shopping center last week.

A man entered a restaurant on April 25 just before midnight in the 2000 block of North Rainbow Boulevard near West Lake Mead Boulevard. The suspect then robbed victims at gunpoint before fleeing.

It is unclear who the victims were and what the man took from them.

Shortly after, the suspect ran across the street to another business in the 1900 block of North Rainbow Boulevard, where he robbed another victim at gunpoint and took an undisclosed amount of money, police said.

The suspect is described as being about 30 to 40 years old and 5-foot-5 to 5-feet-7-inches tall, police said. He was armed with a large firearm.

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