SIMPSON BAY--Paradise Plaza Casino next to the Megaplex in Simpson Bay was robbed of approximately US $28,000 around 10:00pm yesterday, a reliable source on the scene disclosed.
A man apparently walked into the casino and held the cashier at gunpoint before calmly walking out of the casino with the money while customers gambled or were unaware of what had taken place. There was no shooting and were no injuries.
Police officers and detectives were on the scene to question the cashier, but no further information could be obtained about the robbery or the suspect.
The casino was still closed to customers at 11:00pm.
