Five armed criminals steal from a casino worker in Bellevue, Washington.

Armed Robberies Target Casino Employees in Separate Cases

In two separate incidents, casino employees have fallen victim to armed robberies. On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, a casino worker from Bellevue, Washington, was attacked by five armed individuals at their home. This incident follows a pattern of similar robberies in the same region, as reported by the Bellevue Police Department.

The attack occurred at the Sunset Village apartment complex, with the suspects believed to have followed the victim from their workplace in Skyway. The details of the incident are still under investigation, and no further information has been disclosed about the identity or charges against the suspects.

In a separate case, two suspects were arrested for their alleged involvement in an armed robbery at an illegal gambling venue in Queens, New York. The location of the venue was not specified in the report, but the incident left one person injured by gunshots. The FBI was involved in the arrests, following an investigation into the incident that dates back to July. No further information was provided about the identity or charges against the arrested suspects.

Robberies at casinos or casino visits are common due to the large amounts of cash involved. Casino employees can also be victims of such unlawful activities, with some criminals using violence, including firearms, as demonstrated in these cases.

The recent report does not disclose whether or not the casino employee from Bellevue was harmed during the armed robbery. An investigation into the Bellevue armed robbery is currently ongoing.

It is essential for casino employees, especially those who handle large amounts of cash, to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. This includes being aware of their surroundings, travelling in groups when possible, and reporting any suspicious activities to the authorities.

As the investigations into these incidents continue, it is hoped that the perpetrators will be brought to justice, and the safety of casino employees will be prioritised.
