Metro Police need help finding a man suspected of robbing a bank in the northwest part of the valley.

Near 1:30 p.m. on April 15, the man approached a teller, placed a backpack on the counter and handed a demand note to the teller. He claimed to have a gun, but none was seen. The man received some money and fled the bank on foot.

The suspect is described as a black man between 20 and 30 years old, 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall, 180 to 200 pounds, last seen wearing a red and gray-striped polo shirt, jeans, a black baseball cap with a design and a black backpack.

Anyone with information is urged to call Metro’s Robbery Section at 828-3591 or, to report anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 385-5555 or go to crimestoppersofnv.com. Tips through Crime Stoppers directly leading to an arrest or an indictment may result in a cash reward. Information can also be submitted through lasvegasbankrobbers.com.

Henderson Restaurant Supply will partner with Adopt a Rescue Pet (ARP) on a silent auction and raffle fundraiser at 6 p.m. on April 28 at Tommy Rocker’s Mojave Beach Bar & Grill, 4275 Dean Martin Dr.

ARP has a $70,000 balloon payment due May 1, and proceeds from the event will assist in meeting the $70,000 obligation. Closure of the sanctuary would be disastrous to the approximately 300 pets in the ARP program that would be immediately displaced and may face euthanasia if not re-homed, not to mention pets that need placement in the future that might have nowhere to go. Any funds raised over and above the necessary $70,000 will be allocated to veterinary care for animals entering into ARP programs or awaiting medical sterilization prior to adoption.

Event organizers are seeking donated auction/raffle items for the event through April 26, including gift baskets, gift/product certificates and services.
