Are you safe on casino property?

More and more, it looks like casinos ensure that their money is safe, but the safety of patrons is ignored.

Man Robbed, Beaten After Leaving Atlantic City Casino


Crime in Atlantic City is no new story, but a recent robbery has left one man injured both in the wallet and of the flesh. Suyun Gu, 25, was assaulted by three men on an elevator shortly after 2 in the morning.

Gu was robbed after leaving the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Reports show that Gu was walking into a parking garage after his excursion to the casino. Gu entered an empty elevator, and was followed by one of the suspects. He was quickly assaulted, and eventually joined by two other suspects who had joined in on the beating.

Gu was kicked repeatedly on the floor, and had lost $5,000 and an iPhone in the attack. The victim suffered scratches on his face, cuts on the hands, and other contusions.

Gu was not seriously injured in the attack.

The suspects were described as black males, both wearing baseball hats and zippered up jackets. Police are on the look out for the suspects, and anyone with information surrounding the crime is advised to call local police.

Atlantic City’s hurting revenues are not helped by the criminal activities that some have chosen to partake in. Pennsylvania’s explosive growth has also contributed to the ailing state of affairs in Atlantic City.

Casino Robbers To Face More Charges

Last month, three criminals were arrested for their involvement in the robbing of many people outside of a casino in Indiana. These three now face more charges for their actions.

Uhbe Ojile, Amy Hoover, and Kenyatta Erkins were all arrested for their crimes, each charged with multiple counts of aggravated robbery. More than 20 victims had been robbed.

The thieves were busted after an undercover operating had proven successful. In the operation, an undercover operative had acted as a gambler and attempted to become a victim of the robbery.

When the trio attempted to rob the undercover agent, police swarmed the area and took them into custody.

New charges have been filed due to the sheer number of people who had been robbed by the trio.

As many as 26 people were victimized by the pair, and others are asked to step forward in the event that they too had been robbed by the group.

Casino robberies, while not entirely uncommon, rarely end in violence. Unfortunately, many of the crimes go unsolved.

Online casinos have, due to the nature and location of the gamble, proven to be much safer than actually traveling to a casino. When the fact that all money is electronically held with these casinos, there is no way that a thief can steal the funds.
