The warning was issued after the authorities noticed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/news\/las-vegas-casino-patrons-need-to-be-more-cautious-after-spike-in-robberies\">spree of casino robberies across Las Vegas<\/a> as well as the state.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"criminals-targeting-casino-patrons\">Criminals Targeting Casino Patrons <\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that criminals keep a close watch on casinos, irrespective whether they are land based or online casinos. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/online-casino-real-money\">Real Money Online casinos<\/a> are targeted by cyber criminals and players are not subjected to physical risk or harm. However, at land based casinos there is always the threat of physical violence or harm.<\/p>\n<p>The Seattle Police Department highlighted the fact that during the last few months there have been multiple robberies across different casinos. A couple of examples include one robbery at the <strong>Muckleshoot Casino<\/strong> in Oct 2022, when criminals targeted an 81 year old woman and robbed her of over $1,000. <\/p>\n<p>The authorities suspect that the woman was followed home after leaving the casino where she was beaten and then robbed. Another incident took place at the <strong>Macau Casino<\/strong> in Tukwila where a 59 year old woman was attacked during a home invasion. Police suspect that she was also followed home from the casino.<\/p>\n<p>The modus-operandi for casino crime in Seattle of late shows that criminals are following casino patrons\u2019 home after they leave the casino. The Seattle Police Department has put out a cautionary warning to ensure that the community is aware of what is going on at the casinos and for public safety concerns to be given proper attention.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"seattle-police-department-release-tips-for-protection\">Seattle Police Department Release Tips For Protection<\/h2>\n<p>While the Seattle Police Department continue to look for these casino criminals to stop this spree of casino related robberies, they have also released a <a href=\"https:\/\/spdblotter.seattle.gov\/2023\/03\/13\/spd-alert-casino-visitors-being-targeted\/\">list of key tips that casino patrons should follow<\/a> in order to limit their risk of becoming another victim of a casino related robbery.<\/p>\n<p>The Seattle Police Department have asked casino patrons to be extra cautious when leaving a casino and not be focused on their mobile phones. Patrons are asked not to leave the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/mobile-casinos\">casino with a smartphone<\/a> in their hands or have their head down while leaving the casino. Patrons are encouraged to be vigilant of their surroundings and to <strong>call 911 if they notice any suspicious activity and immediately try and get to a safe place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary Casino visitors have received a cautionary warning from the police The Police Department has warned them about a spree of casino robberies Police share key tips to help casino patrons better protect themselves The Seattle Police Department has sent out a cautionary warning to all casino patrons informing them that they could be targets [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-general"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
