Bellagio Casino robber caught, happens to be a judge's child

It seems like the whole story of the Bellagio Casino robbery came out of a film. There’s a new angle to the storyline, though. Now, the Bellagio Casino story seems more like “Ocean’s 11." A 29-year-old, Anthony Carleo, the child of a municipal judge, has been arrested for the theft. It makes you wonder if his father is going to take out a payday cash advance to bail him out, or let him sit in prison.

Bellagio Casino criminal arrest

On Thurs, Feb. 3, police arrested and charged Carleo for the robbery of the Bellagio casino. Carleo was allegedly caught in a sting, trying to sell some of the $1.5 million in Bellagio poker chips that were stolen in December. Reports say Carleo had met up with undercover police officers in order to sell controlled substances and high-value poker chips taken within the robbery. The thief has several charges to face. These contain trafficking of a controlled substance, use of a deadly weapon and burglary.

Seeing connections the robber has

A typical criminal isn’t what the Bellagio Casino robber is. There was $1.5 million in poker chips that were stolen. He had the guts to do that and is connected in a way. George Assad, the LV Municipal Court Judge, is the father of 29 year old son. It’s anticipated that Judge Assad won't come talk about his son's arrest. He has not thus far.

Bellagio Casino criminal arrest leaves unanswered questions

Though the man police believe to be the Bellagio Bandit has been arrested, there are nevertheless several unanswered questions. The way that Carleo got into the casino and back out with poker chips is unknown. It is also interesting that the chips were valuable. The Bellagio and LVPD haven't talked much about high value ships. There may be RFID in the chips implanted if they’re too valuable. The $25,000 poker chips can be discontinued by the Bellagio in April. Other casinos are following suit.
