El Paso police detectives are looking for a man with a handgun who robbed a check-cashing shop Tuesday evening in the East Side.
A police spokesman said an unidentified man walked up to a clerk, took out a gun and demand money at about 5 p.m. in the Check 'n Go at 1491 N. Lee Treviño near Vista Del Sol Drive. The robber left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was injured.
The robber, who had a thin build, was wearing a light-colored baseball cap, a dark-colored shirt, blue jeans and black shoes, police said.
An El Paso police spokesman said the case is not believed to be linked to the robbery of a Check 'n Go in Las Cruces on Saturday by a man disguised as a landscaper and armed with a weed whacker.
Anyone with information on the robbery may call police at 832-4400 or Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-8477.
