StumbleMetro releases photos of parking garage robbery suspects
Police say robbers are targeting victims late night at casinos
Friday, Sept. 4, 2009 | 12:36 p.m.
Metro Police are seeking the public's help in identifying three people, two men and a woman, who have been approaching people leaving their cars in parking garages around the valley and robbing them at gunpoint.
The robberies have taken place between midnight and 5 a.m. in parking garages and parking lots of casinos throughout the Las Vegas Valley, police said.
One person is described as a white or Hispanic man in his late teens to early 20s, police said. The second is a black man, also in his late teens or early 20s. This man had a cast on his right arm that by now might have been removed.
The third is the getaway driver, a woman, police said.
The trio are driving and riding in a 1997 to 1999 Saturn, two-door coupe that is silver or gray, police said. The car has a sunroof and damage to the passenger-side door and the right front quarter panel, police said.
Robbery detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying these people. Anyone with information is urged to call the Metro Police Robbery Section at (702) 828-3591, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

True diversity has arrived!
Another chapter in the "Stupid Criminals" books. sheesh. stupid stupid stupid. Cameras everywhere. products of CCSD?

Are you sure it's not the MOD SQUAD!
umm, get the license plate numbers. can probably make it out using some computer software programs
LOL a woman get-away driver. Before the ladies on this site get upset, I am a woman. lol
They have one awesome get-away car. How fast can you get all three people in that car? Maybe next time they will pick a four door car to use instead. Those three door Saturn's (not sure if that year Saturn has one) is so small, I don't understand why it's even a door.
Anyway, good luck finding them. It can't be that hard. Gunowners of Vegas -- Open carry when you're walking back to your car. I guarantee you those punks won't mess with you.
I carry a .40 Glock 27 for the possibility of encounters like this one.

lololol they'll be caught because they are too stupid. it'll look funny with 2 guys sitting on top of each other in the front passenger seat
A 2-dr getaway car for 3 people. Again products of the Clark County school system
I carry a.40 browning HI-POWER for the same reason
What's the law, and/or "usual practice" concerning casinos' civil liability to any patron who is robbed:
A. Inside the casino.
B. On casino property, in a parking lot/garage.
Assuming there's "significant evidence" that a robbery actually took place, and for the alleged dollar amount stolen.
With free health care that dude won't have to rob to pay his med bills, and the streets will be safer.
I'll see your .40 and raise you a .45, with 2 extra mags. I wish more people would carry and defend themselves. Then losers like this would think twice before trying to rob someone.
And too bad their Saturn didn't qualify as a clunker. They could use a 4 door with at least a V6 for faster get aways. I guess answering "occupation" on the credit app would be a little tough.
