LAS VEGAS --
Metro Police are investigating the robbery of an armored truck just
before noon Friday at an outlet mall in downtown Las Vegas.
Police said a guard from the armored truck was
making his rounds at Premium Outlets North when two men came up behind
him and struck him with a baseball bat. The robbers took the guard's
bag.
The guard fired a shot at the robbers as they
were running away but the bullet did not strike anyone, police said.
The robbers drove away from the scene in a light-colored four-door
sedan, possibly with mismatched wheels.
The robbers are described as two white or
Hispanic men in their 20s. The first man was last seen a black hooded
sweatshirt, stocking cap, sunglasses and an unknown colored shirt. A
clothing description of the second robber is not known.
Both men had stubble beards, wore construction
reflector vests and are described as being between 5 feet 8 inches and 5
feet 11 inches.
The guard was taken to University Medical Center for evaluation. He was not seriously injured.
Anyone with information is urged to call the
Metro's robbery section at 702-828-3591 or, to remain anonymous, call
Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555. Tips directly leading to an arrest or an
indictment processed through Crime Stoppers may result in a cash
reward.
