LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Two men have been charged with an armed robbery at a Las Vegas casino that netted $32,000 in chips, police said Friday.
Police identified a third suspect, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
Edward Land, 41, and Hiroyuki Yamaguchi, 61, were arrested Thursday and were being held in the Clark County Jail
The Rio Hotel and Casino was held up early Thursday by a man wearing a fedora, sunglasses and a costume mustache. He left in a taxi.
Investigators have not said which of the three suspects was believed to be the gunman.
Anthony Carleo, suspected of robbing the Bellagio of $1.4 million in chips in December, appeared in court Wednesday. After that robbery, casino executives said stolen large-denomination chips are effectively worthless because they are electronically tagged.
