SLIDESHOW: Shoplifting Ring Broken Up

Police discovered the ring when the number of shoplifting cases and arrests started to spike. Those arrests gave them the leads they needed to crack the case.

Three people are the suspected ring leaders, each facing charges for possession of stolen goods. Police say about 30 thieves were involved and sold the merchandise to ringleaders.

Wednesday morning, he struck again, pulling off his tenth bank robbery in Las Vegas Valley since September. Police say he’s even robbed one bank twice.

The bandit hit again Wednesday at the Washington Mutual branch on Maryland Parkway and Sahara. Police say he waited in line and fled with money. Metro and the FBI are desperate to catch this repeat robber.

“He’ll wait in line — he’ll wait until he approaches a teller, and he will either present a note or he will tell them that he wants the cash out of the drawer. And on some occasions, he’s even threatened that he may have a weapon,” said Metro Robbery Lt. Clint Nichols.

Lt. Nichols says the man has been linked to 10 bank robberies in the valley, including two in North Las Vegas. His string of crimes started in late September when he hit the Community Bank of Nevada near I-215 and Russell. The robber’s next heist was three days later at Nevada State Bank on Rancho near Craig.

In late October, he pulled off a job at a Wamu on Rainbow near Sahara. The so-called Cordial Crook returned two months later to the same bank to steal more money. In the latest theft, he got his money and told the teller, “Thank you and God bless you.”

Police fear he may not be this friendly next time, “What typically happens is they start to get comfortable with what they’re doing, and the level of violence will escalate.”

Detectives don’t know if this it’s a bad economy that’s driving the man to rip off so many banks and make off with so much money. They want this robber on the run, caught on camera every time, to be arrested, cuffed and locked up.

The man is described as a black male in his mid-20’s to mid-30’s. He is between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall with a heavy build and bulging eyes. Police say he has a shaved head, a goatee, and walks with a limp.

Authorities say the same man is responsible for robbing the Washington Mutual on south Rainbow near Alta on October 28, 2008 and the US Bank on Charleston near Nellis on October 30, 2008.

He may be driving a light colored, four-door Chrysler. If you’ve seen him, call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555.

They think he may not be a local resident. Police have spread his photo around the valley and no one has called police. Last year, a serial bank robber used to fly into Las Vegas from Florida to commit his crimes. This one, police say, could be from out-of-state.

It happened just after 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Police aren’t saying where the student got the weapon, but say he was apprehended without any incident. Police also say it does not appear the student found with the gun had any intention to use the weapon on campus.

Police are crediting the quick thinking of a classmate.

“That student overheard the suspect bragging about having a weapon. Officers used surveillance cameras to track movements of the students and were able to locate this young man near a classroom, responded to a controlled area, made contact with him and recovered a 9mm gun,” said Lt. Ken Young with CCSD Police.

The teen will be charged with carrying a loaded weapon on school property. Police say there have been just under 20 weapons found so far on area school campuses.

The suspects left the store with money, cigarettes and liquor. The suspects are described as two Hispanic males and one black male. Police are asking anyone with information to call their Robbery section at 828-3591 or CrimeStoppers at 385-5555.

Police say the 32-year-old woman was stopped at a red light at Seven Hills Dr. and Sunridge Heights Pkwy. when a man got into her car and demanded at gunpoint that she drive him to a park. Police say the woman was assaulted at Vivaldi Park.

The suspect is described as a dark-complexioned man in his 30’s or 40’s, muscular, with short dark colored spiked hair, clean shaven, hazel eyes and he has a deep scar on the right side of his face extending from his ear to his right lip. The suspect was wearing black jeans, a black hooded sweatshirt and a black belt. The woman was driving a silver Dodget Stratus at the time of the attack.

Anyone with information is asked to call Henderson Police Dept. at 267-4750.

Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 3-month-old infant who was last seen with a babysitter.

Police say the child, Lorianne Marie Evans, was being babysat by Ebony Shantee Nelson, a 26-year-old woman.

Nelson did have persmission to babysit the child but the infant was not returned to the mother at the agreed time and place. Nelson, who is 26-years-old, is known to live along Boulder Highway in daily or weekly rental places.

Anyone with information is asked to call Metro at 828-LOST.

Police say the suspect entered the retail store with a handgun and demanded money. The suspect wore a black tee-shirt with the wording  “All Access Granted” and drove away in a white or gray Chevrolet Impala style vehicle.

The suspect was armed with a knife, but took off without any money after the worker alerted the manager.

The suspect is described as a white male in his early 20’s. He was seen driving away in a gray sedan, possibly a Toyota Tercel.
