KINGMAN - The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is appealing to the public for help in identifying the suspects in two separate Golden Valley robberies over the last month.
Deputies are still looking for a male suspect who held a clerk at gunpoint during a robbery at the King Tut's Mini Mart on Route 68 Nov. 11.
A $500 reward for information in the case has been increased to $2,500.
A 19-year-old clerk was shot in the foot during the incident. The male suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The man is described as approximately 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8, with a thin build and weighing 130 to 160 pounds. He left in a black Ford Ranger pickup truck that was later found on fire at Hoover Road and Burro Drive.
The truck had been stolen from Golden Valley earlier that week. Deputies believe the suspect was picked up by a second vehicle.
Another $500 reward is being offered for information for the suspect responsible for an armed robbery at the National Bank of Arizona on Route 68 one month prior on Oct. 16.
In that case, a male subject entered the bank brandishing a gun and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was hurt. The suspect was seen leaving the area northbound on Hope Road in a grey or silver colored "import type" passenger vehicle with distinctive red rims.
The suspect is described as a white male subject, approximately 5-foot-8, with a slender built, brown hair and wearing a long sleeve shirt and black pants.
Anyone with information on either case is asked to call (928) 753-0753 or Silent Witness at (928) 753-1234.

They should be looking in the parking lots of the casinos, it seems like whoever is doing the robberies are going back in forth between Golden Valley and Bullhead City, because just today wasn't another bank robbed by the same person?

@ do I have to draw a picture
Next time you're out and about, take a count of how many Hyundais Elantras there are out here. I know of four in the 4 block radius from my house just off the top of my head!
The red wheels were likely painted in a washable/removable paint. This is done to throw people off, as simple as it sounds.
And lastly, that IS NOT an Elantra! That is a 2000-2002 Hyundai Accent 2dr/hatchback coupe. And as I was writing this, I stopped in the middle to call the Sheriffs Department to tell them what the car is and they've informed me that that car had just been located in Bullhead City after another robbery was reported there.

Many people have identifed the car as a Hyundia Elantra..And with red rims..How about lookin to the DMV for those cars and their Owners registered in the area?..Prolly as hard as just a few keystrokes to get a list of vehicle types. I cant be the only person wondering why The age of information fails to be utilized.
2500.00 will get someone to turn over. Sure beats trying to use resources at hand..I mean it looks like the picture in this paper shows the car?? That IS an Elantra in the background?
Its not like theres 5000 of them in Mohave county. Sometime it had to have license plates.
