Armed robbers raid Swiss casino

Early on Sunday morning, a casino in Switzerland was robbed by 10 men with pistols and machine guns. They were dressed in all black, spoke French, and had French license plates. They had split into 2 groups. One group tried to break into a vault on the lower level. They couldn't get in so instead they robbed a cashier working down there. The second group went to the upper level and robbed cashiers working the roulette and blackjack tables. After they stole the money they fled to France. None of the 600 people at the casino were seriously injured. Only one person was kicked by one of the robbers. Swiss and French authorities are working together to try and find out who is guilty of this crime.

This article reminded me of Oceans 11. Although that movie was very different, the casino robbing plot was similar. In the movie I was cheering for the thieves, but not in this case. I hope that the authorities will be able to find out who did this. The money needs to be returned to the casino and the robbers need to be punished. Even though I'm not allowed to gamble in casinos yet, I still hope that they would be a safe place. If I ever do choose to visit a casino, I know that I won't want to worry about armed robbers. That would be a very scary thing and hopefully not many people will ever need to experience that.
