Henderson Police arrested a man Sunday in connection with a string of robberies that occurred within a 15-minute time span.
Flavio Moreno, 35, of Henderson, is charged with five counts of robbery with a deadly weapon and one count each of kidnapping, burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and battery.
The first incident occurred at 5:44 p.m., according to police documents. A woman in the parking lot of CVS Pharmacy, 1551 W. Sunset Road, was carjacked at gunpoint, police said, and the assailant drove off in her 2006 Toyota sedan.
Another robbery occurred a few minutes later at the Sinclair Gas Station, 201 N. Stephanie St.
Police said the stolen vehicle pulled up alongside a married couple who were filling their car with gas at 5:50 p.m. They were robbed at gunpoint, police said, and the assailant drove away in the stolen Toyota with the couple’s car keys and credit cards.
Just before 6 p.m., police said, the stolen car pulled into the Triple 7 Gas Station at 234 N. Arroyo Grande Blvd., and two employees were robbed at gunpoint.
Henderson Police spotted the Toyota sedan minutes later and pursued it north on Green Valley Parkway, police said.
The vehicle lost control as it crossed the railroad tracks near Green Valley Parkway and Warm Springs Road and crashed into an electrical box, police said.
Police arrested Moreno after a foot pursuit. Officers also recovered a black pellet gun.
Moreno is being held without bail at the Henderson Detention Center.
Lock the door and throw away the key on that crazy, hopped up dude.
"Deport the bastard."
"Flavio Moreno, 35, of Henderson"
Last time I checked, you can't deport people who live here, even if they are criminals. We have prisons for that.
You mean to say they can't check to see if he's here legally and if not then deport him? Maybe that's the problem.
"You mean to say they can't check to see if he's here legally and if not then deport him?"
No, I mean it's ridiculous to say "Deport Him!" when their is no indication other than his name that he is not an American, and in fact, the story says he is from Henderson.
It's like me saying "Deport Bill O'Reilly!" based solely on his Irish name and that he is criminally insane. Sure, it's a great idea. We should lock him up with Hannity, Savage, and Rush Lamebrain, but deport him?
Oh, and even though she is one of the boys, Coulter gets her own cell. Can't afford any loofa parties.
Flava Flavio...go back to where you came from!
I agree with the pro-deporters on this one.
Let's look at stats, shall we johnevegas?
The poster (johnevegas) who argued that the defendant is a resident of Henderson has a point. No illegal aliens are allowed to live in Henderson Nevada. It therefore, is illogical to think that this upstanding, down on his luck, pellet gun carrying, citizen...is an illegal alien from Mexico.
Geesh, you Republicans!
I have to agree with johne on this one. There's no indication other than the guy's name sounds Mexican/Latin American that he's an illegal.
If his name was Chan, Nguyen, Hussein, Chanjadreskajar, or any other non "American" name, would you still say deport him?
If the guy is illegal, yeah he's a rabid dog who needs jail time/ deportation. If he's an American, he's still a rabid dog who needs jail time.
Find the facts first.
Dang! Who the hell says latinos are lazy. Give this man a job!! I bet he makes employee of the month in no time.
By the way redferret, all those names you mentioned are american names. Only american indians have american sounding names. Names like John, Robert, Michael, Sally, Ruth, Beth...These are all european name in truth.
