On Friday night, June 26th, 2015 at about 9:15 pm a lone armed male individual entered the Dollar General store located at 1531 Paseo del Pueblo Sur, Taos.  The suspect went directly to the checkout counter and demanded the cash from both cash registers.  While doing so, the suspect pulled a small semi-automatic handgun from his right front waist band or pants pocket and "racked" the slide.  The Suspect left immediately after obtaining the cash and fortunately, no one was injured.

The suspect is described as an adult, white, male between 5' 5" and 5' 8" tall of medium build.  He appears to have medium dark hair that goes down to his collar and was wearing a camouflage ball cap over a bandana.  He was wearing what appeared to be a short sleeved camouflage tee shirt that was too large for him, blue jeans, and what looked like lighter brown work type boots.

If you recognize this male suspect; please contact Taos Central Dispatch at 575-758-2217 and leave a message for Taos Police Detective John Wentz.  OR, to remain 100% anonymous, call Taos Crime Stoppers at 575-758-HALT (4258) or leave an anonymous Tip at our website;
