Arrest reports released Wednesday identify additional alleged co-conspirators in forgery and embezzlement schemes that targeted sports betting company William Hill.

Last week, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said its agents broke up an embezzlement scheme that had resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars. According to the arrest reports, agents uncovered two separate embezzlement schemes that were being conducted simultaneously by William Hill employees involving betting kiosks at prominent Las Vegas casinos on and off the Strip.

In December, agents began investigating three former William Hill employees, who were accused of embezzling nearly $72,000 over a five-day period.
