At approximately 7 a.m., the unidentified, masked suspect walked into the main entrance of the cardroom, California TV station KSBW <\/em>reported. He then made his way to a location where cash was held.<\/p>\n

He scooped up the loot, placed it in a backpack, and then walked out of the casino and left the property. It appears no one noticed him during the theft<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the stolen money was picked up from a cashier\u2019s cage.<\/p>\n

Not an Open and Shut Case<\/h2>\n

It’s apparently unclear if the cardroom was closed during the theft. The casino\u2019s posted hours for poker on Sunday don\u2019t start until 9 a.m. Saturday night\u2019s poker games stop at 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

Other casino games don\u2019t start until 10 a.m. on Sunday. Saturday night\u2019s nonpoker games stop at 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

Later on Sunday, a casino worker responsible for totaling the cash received noticed there was missing money. That led security guards to review surveillance video.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The likely suspect was seen on the video. He was described as between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall. He weighed about 200 pounds and was wearing black pants and a dark hoodie at the time of the theft. He also had on a black facemask and sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Casino security guards contacted the Salinas Police Department to investigate the crime.<\/p>\n

Bankers Casino is located about 60 miles south of San Jose, Calif.\u00a0 The California Gambling Control Commission identified the owner as Old Town Investments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
