Metro Police is seeking the public's help in trying to identify an armed man they say has robbed several businesses in the Las Vegas area over the past week.

Surveillance images released Thursday appear to show the man running from a location with stolen cash.

The crime spree is believed to have begun a week ago, the latest occurring Thursday, police said.

In each robbery, the man enters the businesses, approaches clerks and threatens them with a gun, police said. One of the incidents was reported about 4:45 p.m. in the 5000 block of East Tropicana Avenue, near Nellis Boulevard, Metro dispatch logs show.

The suspect was described by Metro as being a tall Hispanic man in his mid-20s. He's worn different outfits in each robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 702-828-3591. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or crimestoppersofnv.com.
