The Carson City Sheriff's Office is currently investigating a burglary that happened Monday at the Nugget Casino. At approximately 11:18 p.m., the suspect in these photos entered the Carson Nugget, made his way through the casino and broke into a lock box and stole approximately $1,600 in Nugget Casino $1 tokens/coins.
The lock box was positioned in the center of an island of slot machine, which was used by the suspect as cover while he broke into the lock box with a Kobalt brand pry bar.
The suspect then removed 4 bags of tokens/coins, placed them in a back pack and later fled the area. The tokens/coins taken by the suspect are only used at the Carson City Nugget Casino and it is possible that the suspect is still in possession of the tokens/coins.
