<\/div>\nAuthorities say they\u2019ve caught the man they believe robbed Little Creek Casino<\/a> in Kamilche last week, and they\u2019re giving credit to what they\u2019re calling an extraordinary team effort between several law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n \u201cThanks to a joint investigation with Lewis County Narcotics Task Force (JNET), Thurston County Narcotics Task Force (TNT), HSI, FBI, Kent PD, Squaxin Island PD, and MCSO, the suspect from the armed robbery at Little Creek Casino has been arrested this evening in Kent,\u201d the Mason County Sheriff\u2019s Office announced in a Facebook post<\/a> on Tuesday (August 12).<\/p>\n Investigators say the same man is also suspected in \u201cadditional casino robberies and the theft of emergency equipment from a Centralia Fire Department vehicle.\u201d Officials credited the \u201csafe apprehension of the suspect\u201d to the cooperative work of all involved agencies.<\/p>\n The arrest happened just a few days after the August 9 incident, when a man is said to have walked into the casino\u2019s supervisor station around 11:24 in the morning, pulled out a handgun, and demanded cash. The sheriff\u2019s office says that when he was told there wasn\u2019t any money in the till, he ran off toward Highway 101.<\/p>\n Witnesses at the time described him as a Hispanic man in his 20s to early 30s, about 5-foot-7 with a smaller build. He was wearing a gray or dark flannel shirt buttoned all the way up, dark gray pants, dark \u201cRomeo\u201d boots, a light gray hat with a white Nike logo, sunglasses, and a clear plastic glove on his right hand.<\/p>\n Investigators believe the arrest could help solve other unsolved cases. After the Little Creek robbery, people on social media suggested he might also be the man who robbed the Silver Reef Casino in Whatcom County on August 3. Others pointed to the recent theft of hydraulic rescue tools, often called the \u201cjaws of life,\u201d from the Riverside Fire Authority in Centralia.<\/p>\n The tribal casino<\/a> sits northwest of Olympia near Olympic National Park and offers more than 750 slot machines, 28 table games, a hotel, RV park, spa, golf course, and several restaurants.<\/p>\n Officials have not released the suspect\u2019s name or details about the charges he could face.<\/p>\n Featured image: Mason County Sheriff’s Office<\/em><\/p>\n The post Little Creek Casino armed robbery suspect arrested after multi-agency investigation<\/a> appeared first on ReadWrite<\/a>.<\/p>\nLittle Creek Casino suspect investigated for other possible crimes<\/span><\/h2>\n
