Authorities say a man armed with a gun recognized by witnesses as a "regular customer" to area businesses allegedly robbed a slot machine attendant at a Reno grocery store over the weekend.

The suspect allegedly showed a gun that was tucked into his waistband to the slot attendant at the Scolari's on South McCarran Boulevard and Mira Loma Drive just before 2 a.m. Saturday.
He left the store with an undisclosed amount of cash, Reno police said.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his early 20s, with a thin mustache and goatee, about 5-feet-8-inches tall with a slender build. He was last seen wearing a black beanie cap, a black jacket with a white liner and blue jeans.

Police say the suspect was last seen headed away from the shopping center in a south-west direction and possibly jumped over the wall with another Hispanic man into the Rosewood Apartment complex on 4650 Sierra Madre Drive.
