Roberto Carlos Gonzales Miranda and Roberto Orellana recently were indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit theft from a gaming establishment on Indian Lands, and transportation of stolen money, according to South Dakota TV station KELO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The pair undertook a scheme at the Grand River Casino<\/a> located in Mobridge, SD, in February.<\/p>\n

The plot began when a woman telephoned a manager of the casino’s cashiers’ cage.<\/p>\n

A man then got on the phone and said he was a collections contractor for the United States Postal Service. He claimed the casino owed $700K and that if the money wasn\u2019t paid immediately, there would be more fees or fines owed, the report said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a third suspect claiming to be the manager’s supervisor sent the manager a text message ordering him to \u201cempty the vault and deposit the cash at a Bitcoin<\/a> ATM in Aberdeen, South Dakota,\u201d according to KELO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The casino employee scooped up $352K from the vault and got into a vehicle with the money. The person then drove to Aberdeen where he was instructed to deliver the money to two individuals in a gas station parking lot.<\/p>\n

The casino is owned and operated by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.<\/p>\n

Casino Jackpot Winner Robbed, Suspect Nabbed<\/h2>\n

A man was arrested in Tulsa, Okla<\/a>. following Friday\u2019s holdup of a man who, hours earlier, won money at a gaming property.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Terry Brown, was charged with armed robbery<\/a> with a firearm after being a convicted felon.<\/p>\n

The incident began when Brown allegedly pulled out a firearm and robbed the victim. He stole an undisclosed amount of cash won at the unnamed gaming property, as well as car keys and a phone, according to Tulsa TV station KTUL<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The holdup took place at about 6 p.m. Friday at a residence located near 44th Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.<\/p>\n

A second suspect accompanied Brown when he robbed the victim, police said. He\u2019s still believed to be at large.<\/p>\n

The two suspects were videotaped by a security camera, the report said.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s sister-in-law reported the robbery to the Tulsa Police Department (TPD) and gave police a description of the getaway vehicle and the suspects.<\/p>\n

A short time later, a vehicle matching the description was spotted by a TPD helicopter and stopped by officers on North Quaker Avenue. Terry Brown, an occupant in the vehicle, matched a description given of the robbery suspect, police said.<\/p>\n

Brown was booked for the crime and his case was turned over to local prosecutors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
