Las Vegas, NV – Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the theft of two high-end watches valued at over $500,000 at a Las Vegas casino, according to arrest records obtained by 8 News Now.
The thefts occurred on August 17 and September 15 at the Fontainebleau’s Club LIV. On August 17, a man reported that his $400,000 Richard Millie watch was stolen after he exited the restroom and was surrounded by a group of people who distracted him. Surveillance footage confirmed that the group had followed him, waited for him to exit, and then created a diversion before taking the watch.
On September 15, another victim wearing a watch experienced a similar situation, where a group brushed against him while he was at the nightclub, making him feel immobilized. Soon after, his watch went missing, and the group was seen exiting the club.
The suspects were identified using facial recognition software by the Fontainebleau security team on November 22, leading to their arrest. They were charged with grand larceny and conspiracy to commit grand larceny.
The arrested individuals were Milton Castillo Martinez, Laura Vargas, Briyith Munoz, and Johan Hernandez. They were booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
