The Humberside Police have issued an appeal to locals who might have doorbell footage or witness information to share in regard to a report concerning an attempted burglary on Endike Lane in Hull. 

Attempted Burglary During the Night

The incident took place in the early hours of Tuesday, November 14. At around 4:30 am, the police were called to investigate a claim from a local resident that three men were trying to gain entry into Merkur Slots casino using power tools. 

It was the sound of the said power tools that woke up the Good Samaritan who most likely saved the casino from what could have brought them some serious damage.

Officers were deployed to the casino located on Endike Lane. Upon their arrival, the trio managed to flee the scene in a white BMW. He is believed to have traveled in the direction of 21st Avenue towards Cranbrook Avenue. The other two potential burglars are believed to have run toward Greenwood Avenue.

The authorities have made an appeal to anyone who possesses any kind of information in relation to the case, including dash cam or CCTV footage in the area nearby to assist them with their inquiries by contacting them on their non-emergency number 101 quoting log 35 of 14 November.

Anyone who has information on the three suspects and wishes to remain anonymous can alternatively get in touch with Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.

$1 Million in Casino Chips Stolen from Genting Highlands

At the start of the month, we reported on a $1 million casino theft at Genting Highlands that resulted in 10 people being detained. 

Genting Highlands is a top-tier gaming and entertainment property operated by leading gaming company Genting Malaysia. The thieves broke into the room where the casino chips worth around $1 million were stored on October 28, which led to the police being notified of the break-in. 

The investigation is still ongoing, and the authorities refrained from disclosing any extra information on the case details. The version of an inside job was not, however, ruled out. 

Ex-Police Officer Sentenced for Casino Heists

Last month, an ex-police officer in Las Vegas was sentenced for a series of casino heists at three major casinos in Sin City that resulted in the theft of over $160,000 between November 2021 and February 2022. 

Caleb M. Rogers received a 12-year federal prison sentence by US District Judge Andrew P. Gordon, at the end of a shocking trial that revealed the casino robberies. 

Apparently, Rogers wore dark clothes, black latex gloves, and a face mask while executing the robberies with amazing precision.

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) announced that Carl Brincat, its current chief executive officer, will be departing from the regulatory body. In the meantime, the MGA will issue a public call to determine his successor.

According to the MGA, Brincat will not be seeking renewal of his current contract, which is set to expire on January 25, 2024. His yet-to-be-appointed successor is therefore set to step into the office on January 26, 2024.

As mentioned, the leadership succession plan will see the MGA issue a public call for applications. The MGA hopes to ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities from Brincat to his successor.

The MGA also added that prior to stepping into the office, the new CEO will spend several weeks shadowing Brincat.

Brincat: Leaving the MGA Was a “Very Hard Decision to Make”

In the meantime, the Maltese regulator’s board of directors thanked Brincat for his exceptional leadership and contributions. Ryan C. Pace, chairperson of the MGA, lauded Brincat as someone who has contributed a lot to the MGA and the Maltese gaming industry as a whole. Pace said that the MGA team is very thankful for the strong foundation left by Brincat, saying that they will allow the regulator to pursue its strategic goals.

Brincat also commented on his departure, saying that the decision to leave didn’t come easy.

Leaving the MGA is a very hard decision to make. The past 9 years have been a rollercoaster of experiences which contributed to the person I am today, and it has been a privilege to lead the Authority for the past 3 years.

Brincat added that he is very proud of the work that he and his team have done together. He praised the people he worked with for their passion and said that he is looking forward to working with them for a few more months.

On a final note, the MGA expressed its commitment to serving the Maltese gaming sector and “unlocking new opportunities for innovation and excellence.
