Five Arrested for Brazen Atlantic City Casino Robbery: Former Guard Among Them

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Associated Press) — Authorities say a former security officer and four other people stole more than $180,000 from security workers during an armed robbery at an Atlantic City casino earlier this month.

Authorities tell The Press of Atlantic City that four men and a woman were arrested over the past week. They’re accused of holding up two security workers who were moving boxes of money from the Caesars Atlantic City casino shortly after 6 a.m. on July 21.

The suspects include Izyiah Plummer, 19, who was fired as a Caesars guard earlier in July.

The suspects all live in the Atlantic City area and range in age from 19 to 23. Two others worked in other Atlantic City casinos.

Authorities say others could have been involved in the plot, too.
