Was This Weekend’s Atlantic City Robbery an Inside Job?

Ah, the bad old days appear to be back. A man reportedly walks into a casino with a mask over his face, and pulls off a robbery at gunpoint.

The suspect knocked on the rear door of the restaurant and told the manager he was with “Bally’s security.” When the manager opened the door, the suspect placed a handgun against her forehead and told her he would shoot her if she didn’t cooperate. The suspect ordered the manager to open the safe and had her place money into deposit bags, which he placed into a backpack.

Only afterwards do investigators begin to suspect the whole thing is an inside job, all by what sort of shoes and pants he was wearing. Does it get any more Ocean’s 11/Nucky Thompson glamorous that this?

Except that the whole thing occurred in a Johnny Rocket’s hamburger shop inside the resort. If that doesn’t sum up contemporary A.C., I don’t know what does. [CBS 3]
