UPDATE: Las Vegas Police have just released urgent new footage in the search for a suspect involved in a brazen robbery at a Summerlin-area casino. The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of this armed individual, who carried out the heist on November 13.
In a shocking display of audacity, the suspect entered the casino near Rampart Blvd just before 10:30 PM, donning a striking disguise that included a ballistic helmet, blue sunglasses, a black facemask, and a blue and yellow security-style jacket. Armed with an AR-style rifle, he demanded cash from the cashier’s cage, then fled the scene on a bicycle.
The newly released surveillance footage, shared on social media by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), captures the suspect moments after the robbery, highlighting the urgency of the investigation. Authorities are calling on the public for assistance in identifying this elusive individual.
“We encourage anyone with information to come forward. Your tips could lead to an arrest,” said an LVMPD spokesperson.
For those with details, the LVMPD has provided direct contact options, including the Robbery Section at 702-828-3591, or via email at [email protected]. An anonymous tip line is also available through Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or online at crimestoppersofnv.com.
This incident raises significant concerns over security at Las Vegas establishments, as the brazen nature of the crime challenges local law enforcement. Surveillance footage also shows a security guard retreating at the sight of the suspect’s weapon, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
The investigation is ongoing and evolving as authorities blend traditional detective work with public outreach efforts. The LVMPD is working tirelessly to ensure safety and justice in the community.
As details develop, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The urgency of this case cannot be overstated; the suspect remains at large, and every piece of information could be vital in bringing him to justice.
