Casino Robbery Suspect Caught After 10 Years

Posted under Casino by Peter on Wednesday 7 October 2009 at 12:49 pm

A former Atlantic City casino dealer who’s been on the lam for 10 years after being charged with armed robberies of five casinos and a bank has been arrested in Ghana.

The FBI says it got help from Scotland Yard to track down 32-year-old Edmund Osei in April in Accra North, Ghana. He was arrested last week by Ghanaian police after what officials call a diplomatic process.

Osei, who once worked as a poker dealer at the Trump Taj Mahal, is accused of taking $60,000 from casino and a bank during a robbery spree in the summer of 1999.

He disappeared after failing to show up for an arraignment in January 2000.
