Dshante Styles, 33, is accused of six casino armed robberies and two carjackings, Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Nicholas Farese said in a press conference Thursday afternoon. Styles was arrested Thursday morning and faces multiple charges in connection with the eight incidents, Farese said.

Farese declined to name any of the casinos targeted but said Styles was involved in a string of casino robberies that began on Nov. 16.

Despite police refusal to name the involved casinos, there were at least four reported robberies in the span of about six weeks last winter.
