Las Vegas Woman Arrested for Multiple Armed Robberies
A woman identified as Kally McGreevy has been arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly committing a series of armed robberies at convenience stores. The string of robberies took place between August 4 and August 6, 2025, during which she reportedly displayed a firearm and threatened employees for cash.
Details of the Robberies
McGreevy, 29, faces six counts of burglary while in possession of a firearm or deadly weapon, along with multiple felony charges. According to law enforcement, she used a purple or pink handgun during the incidents. Witnesses described her as wearing sunglasses, a white or gray hoodie turned inside out, dark jeans, and Vans-style shoes.
On the night of August 4, around 10 p.m., McGreevy entered a bar located in the 6600 block of Vegas Drive, where she demanded money from the bartender by stating her desperation. Following the robbery, she fled the scene in a white four-door sedan.
Two days later, on August 6, she continued her crime spree. At approximately 10:25 p.m., McGreevy robbed a convenience store in the 7600 block of Westcliff Drive at gunpoint. Just ten minutes later, she attempted to re-enter the bar she had previously robbed but was recognized by an employee and was not allowed in.
After leaving the bar, she proceeded to rob another convenience store in the 4800 block of North Jones Boulevard, where she pointed her gun at the cashier and demanded cash. Shortly after, McGreevy tried to rob yet another convenience store nearby but left empty-handed when the employee attempted to confront her. Despite this setback, she successfully robbed a third convenience store shortly afterward by threatening the employee with her weapon.
At around 11:15 p.m. on the same night, she entered another convenience store located in the 4700 block of North Rancho Drive but did not proceed with a robbery, instead sitting at a gaming machine. However, officers responding to a report from an earlier robbery noticed her vehicle parked outside and arrested her as she was leaving.
Investigation and Arrest
Upon arrest, officers discovered an open purse containing $699 in McGreevy’s vehicle. The firearm found in her possession was claimed by her, although she admitted she did not possess a concealed carry permit. Following her arrest, McGreevy stated that she had been at work until 11 p.m. and had gone to the convenience store to gamble.
After requesting an attorney, she did not provide any additional information during the questioning. McGreevy was later released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on September 11, 2025. The police are continuing their investigation into the series of crimes, gathering evidence and testimonies related to her alleged activities during those nights.
