Police: Man poses as health inspector, steals from 2 restaurants
Police seek the public’s help to identify a man they say posed as a health inspector to steal from two fast-food restaurants last month in the southwest Las Vegas Valley.
Both thefts happened July 3, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release. The first was reported just before 9 p.m. on the 8500 block of West Warm Springs Road; the other before 10 p.m. on the 7000 block of South Durango Drive.
In both cases, the man entered the business claiming to be an inspector and persuaded employees to open a safe. After taking money from the safe, he fled the area.
He is about 25 to 35 years old and was last seen wearing a blue button-up shirt and black pants.
