Fourth Robbery Suspect Captured

Poker enthusiasts have been keeping track of the newest updates with regards to the March 6th robbery which took place during a high profile poker tournament which was being held at the Berlin's Hyatt hotel. Four armed men barged in during the tournament and to everyone's shock, walked away with $327,000. The police had been looking for the men actively when the first of the four suspects turned himself into the police station. Following his arrest, two of the other four suspects were arrested earlier in the week. It all seemed to begin going downhill for the remaining suspects after the first one turned himself in.

The Fourth Suspect

The police have stated that the fourth suspect is a 28 year old Lebanese man. He is also the one suspected of driving the getaway car away from the scene of the crime. The getaway car was a black Mercedes Benz. The four fled the scene and the first of them to be arrested was the suspect who walked into a police station and gave up. This fourth suspect is the one that the investigators think is the man which put it all together. They are confident that the 28 year old Lebanese man is the mastermind of the entire heist. As a matter of fact, the investigators went on to describe the fourth suspect as “the brains behind the operation".

The Wrap up

Now that all of the suspects have been captured and are in police custody, the investigators can go about finding out how all of this happened. Hopefully, they will be able to figure out a plan of action which will be effective in protecting other high stakes poker events which may take place in the future. The four men in custody complete the arrests so far, unless it is found that others were also involved. It was the first suspect to be arrested that said the men split the money and parted ways shortly after the heist had taken place. Hopefully, the arrest of the man being considered as the brains will be able to provide police with even more answers on how this all transpired.
