Police have arrested a 29-year-old Las Vegas man in the armed robbery of $1.5 million in casino chips from the Bellagio resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
Las Vegas police said Anthony M. Carleo was the motorcycle-helmeted bandit who waved a gun, grabbed high-value casino chips and made off on a motorcycle before dawn on Dec. 14. Carleo allegedly entered a casino entrance from Flamingo Road, went to a craps table, brandished the handgun at the 10 to 12 patrons and three or four dealers with chips piled on the green felt, scooped up the loot and ran.
