A 33-year-old casino supervisor and her husband, who are accused of stealing $153,000 from her employer, are expected to appear in court today charged with 50 counts of larceny by trick.
The couple was arrested at their Kings Wharf, San Fernando home on Friday night, a day after the casino owner reported the theft.
It is alleged that the woman and her 39-year-old husband stole the money between January and August. It is alleged the woman manipulated a roulette machine in the casino to ensure that a certain bet was played.
When she received the chit she would sign it and give it to her husband, who would then cash it in. They were arrested by Cpl Bacchus and PC Crawford of the San Fernando CID.
Following investigations supervised by Insp Don Gajadhar, which included viewing surveillance footage from the casino, interviewing and taking statements from people, including the couple, charges were laid by Crawford.
They are expected to appear before a San Fernando magistrate.
