Summary
098. Dangerous Gamble
In Henderson, NV, a suburb of Las Vegas, two robbers brandishing assault rifles ambush armored guards as they exit their truck on March 3, 2000. The robbers kill both guards and seize $5,000. As the killers run to their getaway car, a police officer arrives and opens fire, striking one escaping assailant in the leg. After loosing the killers in a chase, police collect blood left by the injured robber and bullet casings from the firefight. Las Vegas Police and the FBI notice similarities to brazen midday robberies at the MGM Grand casino, the Desert Inn casino and the Mandalay Bay casino. The FBI developed a list of suspects after the September 20, 1998 MGM Grand robbery. In that heist, two armed men stormed the casino, broke into its main cage, and stole $350,000. A month later, a recent parolee with a $10,000 income, purchased a $169,000 home in the name of his wifeâs relative. Investigatorsâ suspicions of the suspects increased after robbers opened fire on two armored guards in front of the Desert Inn casino on June 28, 1999. Police found the robberâs getaway car at the nearby Vagabond Inn parked next to an abandoned truck that belonged to one of the suspectsâ brother-in-law. On June 3, 2000 a security camera captures the robbers as they steal $155,523 from the Bellagio. One of the menâs parole officers confirms their suspicions, and arrests are made.
