In Nevada, a suspect has been arrested for stealing tools and metal pipes, weighing more than a ton, from the newly opened Fontainebleau casino resort in Las Vegas. The accused, identified as A.D., attempted to pilfer approximately 1,130 kg of copper pipes and other metals, along with tools valued at $300,000. A.D. had previously worked in construction at the resort but was terminated in January.
Investigations revealed that the suspect had been involved in stealing copper pipes over several months. Law enforcement traced his activities through his truck's license plate number. A.D. admitted to exploring the resort during his construction tenure and identifying locations suitable for cutting metal pipes without risking water damage.
A.D. faces charges of burglary and destruction of personal property. He has been granted bail of $25,000 and is scheduled for a court hearing on March 20.
