Recent Pattern of Casino-Related Robberies
Casino and poker-room crime continues to be a concern nationwide. Earlier this year, reports from Houston detailed a series of robberies targeting poker players after they left local poker clubs. Surveillance video from a hotel captured one of the incidents.
In another case from May, federal authorities arrested two men connected to a crew accused of following winning gamblers from casinos and robbing them on nearby highways. Investigators said the suspects visited multiple properties to scout potential victims before carrying out the attacks.
