Anthony Assad
The robbery took place in the Las Vegas Bellagio Resort and Casino on December 14 last year. The armed robber took chips from the craps tables and fled with his parked running motorcycle to the west on Flamingo Road.
Because of the large denominations of the chips, police said it would be very hard for him to cash them without giving himself away. This happened indeed, as Carleo (also known as Anthony Assad) was arrested late Wednesday by 2 undercover agents. He was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on the charges of burglary, robbery and drug trafficking. George Assad's son is currently held without Bail.
Police investigations revealed that the robber was a guest of the hotel at the time of the robbery, and that he might be also responsible for a similar robbery that happened at tha Suncoast casino on December 8, where the robber dressed in the same outfit stole a poker room cashier cage containing $20,000.
The father, George Assad has not yet commented on the issue.
