Las Cruces – Las Cruces Crime Stoppers is offering $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the three men responsible for an armed robbery that was committed early Monday morning.
At around 2 a.m. on Monday, May 31, Las Cruces Police were called to a report of an armed robbery at an apartment on the 500 block of west Griggs Avenue. Officers learned that three men - two of whom were armed with handguns - entered the apartment and ordered the residents to empty their pockets.
