Sioux Falls, SD (KELO AM) - Monday evening at approximately 10:45pm, Sioux Falls police was dispatched to the Rice St Casino at 1810 E Rice for a robbery. Upon arrival they were advised a suspect entered the business and demanded money. No weapon was seen and he didn’t appear to wait long enough to obtain any actual property from the business.
It appears the man, who had a mask on, walked into the casino and demanded money. From the video it does not appear that the clerk ever gave him any, as the would-be robber pulled a bag out, briefly removed his mask, then walked out of the casino. It’s unclear what the clerk and robber talked about in the video.
He was described as a black male, possibly in his 20’s, approximately 5’ 7” tall with a medium build. He was last believed to be running north and east from the business. Anyone with information about the crime is encouraged to call Crimestoppers.
