Police seek help to ID suspects in convenience store robbery

Police are asking for the public's help to identify three males accused in the armed robbery of a southeast valley convenience store last month.

The suspects entered the business near Eastern and Tropicana avenues about 6:35 a.m. on Dec. 12, Metro Police said.

One suspect approached the counter with merchandise when the two others entered, one of whom was carrying a gun, police said.

They demanded cash from the employees and received it, fleeing the scene afterward.

The suspect with the gun is described as a black male about 5 feet 7 inches tall in his late teens to early 20s. He has a thin build and a goatee, police said.
