Bank robbery near Sahara and Rainbow, Sept. 24

Manhunt Monday - Edward Camarillo

Shortly after 9:00 a.m. on March 9 of this year, Las Vegas Metro Police say Edward Camarillo entered a Northeast Las Vegas convenience store, simulated a weapon, and attempted to rob the store. When the clerk ordered the Camarillo to leave the store he fled on foot out the front door, stealing only candy as he went.

 

Because of this criminal activity Camarillo is wanted for:

• Attempted robbery, and
• Burglary,

He is also wanted for disorderly conduct, based on a separate, unrelated, incident.

 

Edward Camarillo is a Hispanic male adult, 20 y.o.a., standing 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 130 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes.

He has a tattoo’s of:

• A face on his left shoulder,
• The word “Cholo” on his right forearm, and
• The word “Chicalie” on his left forearm.

Camarillo’s last known address was in the 1800 block of Bartoli in Northeast Las Vegas.

Even though in this instance the suspect did not successfully complete his attempted crime, and actually stole only candy, his simulation of a weapon indicates a willingness to use violence. In all probability the next time he will actually have a weapon, which may result in violence against his victim.

Prior to this event Camarillo’s criminal history included arrest for:

• Trespass,
• Possession of burglary tools,
• Disorderly conduct,
• Conspiracy,
• Grand Larceny,
• Possession of a stolen vehicle,
• Burglary,
• Possession of narcotics paraphernalia, and
• Possession of stolen property.

Anyone with any information concerning the whereabouts of Edward Camarillo is urged to contact the L.V.M.P.D. Robbery Section at 828-3591 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
