Las Vegas, Nevada – In a shocking turn of events, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have arrested two individuals in connection with a $650,000 casino cage robbery that took place at a popular Strip casino.
The incident occurred late Saturday night at the world-renowned Bellagio Hotel and Casino, where two masked individuals stormed the casino’s cashier cage armed with handguns. The suspects quickly grabbed handfuls of cash before fleeing the premises and escaping in a waiting vehicle.
According to police reports, the robbers made off with a staggering $650,000 in cash, making it one of the largest casino heists in recent history. Casino security immediately sprang into action, notifying authorities and initiating a manhunt for the suspects.

Authorities have also recovered a significant portion of the stolen cash, along with firearms believed to be used in the robbery. Both suspects are facing multiple charges, including armed robbery, grand larceny, and possession of stolen property.
