A man named Gary Hunt allegedly distracted patrons at Encore Boston Harbor before reaching over and stealing $13,000 worth of chips from a dealer. He was later arrested by the Massachusetts State Police.
Hunt's distraction involved announcing that another player had won big, causing a commotion that allowed him to grab $1,000 chips from the dealer's tray and flee the casino using an emergency exit.
Police located Hunt in a nearby parking lot with some of the stolen chips. He had dropped one while leaving and discarded two outside the casino. He is facing charges of larceny over $1,200 and larceny from a building.
