Authorities say they’ve caught the man they believe robbed Little Creek Casino in Kamilche last week, and they’re giving credit to what they’re calling an extraordinary team effort between several law enforcement agencies.
“Thanks to a joint investigation with Lewis County Narcotics Task Force (JNET), Thurston County Narcotics Task Force (TNT), HSI, FBI, Kent PD, Squaxin Island PD, and MCSO, the suspect from the armed robbery at Little Creek Casino has been arrested this evening in Kent,” the Mason County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday (August 12).
Investigators say the same man is also suspected in “additional casino robberies and the theft of emergency equipment from a Centralia Fire Department vehicle.” Officials credited the “safe apprehension of the suspect” to the cooperative work of all involved agencies.
