A high-profile heist at the Four Winds Casino in Michigan, involving $700,000 stolen last year, has led to the arrest of Jesus Gaytan-Garcia in Chicago. Eight months after a cage worker was deceived into walking out with the cash by someone impersonating casino tribal bosses over the phone, federal authorities traced some of the stolen money to a safe on Chicago's South Side. Gaytan-Garcia faced court proceedings in Chicago today, marking a significant development in the case that has caught the attention of federal investigators.
