Carson City investigators seek woman suspected of cash thievery at casino
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office Investigation Division is asking the public for assistance in identifying a gaming ticket thief who made off with money illegally obtained at a casino.
On Sunday, July 22, at around 1:55 a.m., a customer at Casino Fandango, 3800 South Carson Street in Carson City, attempted to cash out their winnings from a slot machine. When the slot machine malfunctioned, the customer went to find an attendant. The slot machine then printed out the gaming ticket.
According to sheriff's investigators, shortly thereafter a white female with blonde hair was observed taking the ticket from the gaming machine. The female suspect then cashed out the ticket at a cashier kiosk for an undisclosed amount of money and left the casino.
The female suspect was described as white female adult with long blonde hair. The suspect was wearing a red shirt and black shorts.
