The Nye County Sheriff’s Office is looking for two suspects who robbed an elderly Pahrump man at gunpoint over the weekend.
The elderly disabled veteran called police to report being robbed at gunpoint at his home, near Basin Road and Lola Lane, by two male suspects. The incident occurred Saturday at approximately 2:45 p.m., police said.
During the robbery one of the suspects threatened the victim with a pistol and demanded his wallet, police stated.
The suspects are described as older teenagers, with dark colored skin.

Both suspects were last seen fleeing eastbound on Basin Road toward Lola Lane, possibly turning northbound on Lola Lane, police reported.
Detectives are requesting the public’s immediate assistance with this case, and cautioned that both suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.
