The owners of the St. Regis Travel Center are hoping that some videos and pictures distributed through the Mineral County Sheriff's Office can help find the perpetrator of an armed robbery.

The incident occurred at around 2:43 a.m on the morning of Friday, January 17, when a man dressed nearly head to toe in dark clothes pulled out a handgun and demanded cash.

The suspect is believed to be about six feet tall with a trim build. He was wearing a black coat on top of a dark blue hoodie that was pulled up over his head. He also covered his face with a black bandanna. He wore black sweatpants white tennis shoes.

According to the Mineral County Sheriff's Department the suspect was carrying a "black semi-automatic pistol of an unknown make and caliber."

After receiving a plastic bag full of money the robber reportedly headed west on Mullan Gulch Road (Old US Highway 10).

Anyone with information about this case is advised to call the Mineral County Sheriff's Office at 822-3555 or, to report anonymously, call  Five Valley Crimestoppers at 721-4444.
