It wasn’t exactly Ocean’s Eleven. A former Las Vegas police officer was convicted by a federal jury of robbing three casinos between November 2021 and February 2022, netting $165,000, brandishing his department-issued service weapon during one of the robberies, KSNV NBC-3 in Las Vegas reports.
Caleb Rogers’ younger brother testified about how the two pulled off the first heist, taking three hours to detail the planning and execution of the job for the jury. Prosecutors say Rogers then conducted two more robberies on his own because, they said, he was a gambling addict. Rogers was an active police officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police at the time of the robberies, but he was on unpaid leave since his arrest.
