Paris Las Vegas Security Nabs Alleged Burglar After Seven Room Break-ins

A suspect was arrested last week after allegedly burglarizing seven guest rooms at the Paris Las Vegas hotel. He stole over $5K in just a few hours, police said.

Robert Black was apprehended in a sting set up on June 2 by security staff at the Paris. The operation was created after guests complained their cash and personal items were stolen from hotel rooms and suites.

Security guards placed a wallet stuffed with $600 in the “bait room” along with other valuable items and installed hidden surveillance cameras, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

Guards were on duty in a room next door where they monitored the bait room on video.

Black soon walked in and stole the wallet that was left in a suitcase. Guards sprang into action and apprehended him before turning him over to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers.

Such a petty crime! A lot of people don't have shame! What a disgrace and humiliation that a grown up is stealing wallets and some valueless valuables.

Stealing is stealing and should not be encouraged. I am very sure that he might have stolen more than that if he has access to more than that. There are different people that are into stealing because they are greedy.
