Considering that casinos facilitate cash-sensitive transactions, they can often become targets of different criminals. While some may attempt different fraudulent activities, others try to rob such venues. This is precisely the reason why many brick and mortar casinos invest heavily in security personnel, surveillance and some even leverage AI solutions.

Earlier this week, a brazen robbery at Porto Cupe-Coy casino in Sint Maarten, a Caribbean Island that is a constituent country of the Netherlands, resulted in the theft of an undisclosed amount of money. The incident, according to the Police Force of Sint Maarten, Korps Politie Sint Maarten (KPSM), dates to the early hours of Wednesday, January 24, 2024.

According to law enforcement, an investigation into the armed robbery is ongoing. Police are doing everything they can to collect more evidence to help identify, apprehend and punish the three individuals who engaged in the unlawful activity. KPSM confirmed that witnesses or anyone who has information regarding the robbery can submit an anonymous tip either via calling its hotline or leaving a Facebook message.

“The investigation into this armed robbery is currently underway. KPSM is actively working to gather evidence, interview witnesses to identify and apprehend the suspects,“

Investigation into the Robbery Continues

Describing the incident, law enforcement confirmed multiple reports about an ongoing armed robbery were received on January 24 at around 1:30 AM. Not unexpectedly, police responded immediately by dispatching a number of detectives, patrols and forensics teams at the local casino. A preliminary investigation of the case identified three culprits who were wearing masks and dark clothes.

The robbers were equipped with guns and threatened the security guards at the casino’s entrance. After that, the culprits stormed into the venue and robbed it. Police did not confirm how long the robbery took. Once done, the three masked robbers left the casino on foot.

A group of friends gambling in a garage were able to successfully fight off two armed robbers that abruptly interrupted them, a new viral video released on Instagram reveals. Released earlier this week, the viral video claims that the incident took place at a private home on Alaska Street in Tacoma, Washington.

While gambling in a garage, a group of three Vietnamese men is interrupted by two armed thugs with hoodies. The men aggressively enter the garage that is left with an open door, with one of the thugs shouting “Freeze,” and waving a long-barreled rifle in the air.

The surprising attack shocked the three men, but that did not stop them from getting back at their attackers. When the thugs approached the gamblers one of them shouted “What the f**k, man?” After that, the robbers told the three men to give everything they have, including money, phones and keys.

The robbers shouted at the three men, telling them to hurry up and give their possessions. “Give everything! Hurry up,” says one of the robbers and hits the table in front of the three Vietnamese men which had some money on it, cards and cups, likely with alcoholic beverages.

Then, one of the robbers hits one of the unarmed men. In a split second, all three Vietnamese men jumped up and attacked the robbers without any fear of the gun they saw moments earlier. In the brawl, the men go off camera but can be seen dropping to the ground and throwing fists just outside of the garage.

One user online suggested that they are related to two of the Vietnamese men who were attacked. The online user claimed that the two robbers were accompanied by two other individuals who waited in a getaway car. In the commotion, the user said, the people in the car hit a vehicle belonging to one of the victims. After that, all of the attackers fled the scene.
