Authorities search for suspect in Pahrump robberies

The Nye County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect in two robberies Monday night in Pahrump.

The first robbery was called in just after 10 p.m. at a Green Valley Grocery on the corner of Nevada Highway 372 and Blagg Road, according to Lt. David Boruchowitz of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office.

The second was reported after 11 p.m. at a Maverik gas station on Nevada Highway 160 near Homestead Road, he said.

Surveillance video shows a man wearing blue jeans and a black sweatshirt with the hood up in both stores.
