Horizon Casino Robbery - 2003 g5926

An unknown masked man surprised the employee of Horizon Casino, Vicksburg, Mississippi on November 9, 2003 in early hours of the day. It was 4:00 am when the masked man forced the employee on gun point to let him inside. Apparently, the unidentified man was wearing a jacket of a well-known football team, Dallas Cowboys. After forcing the attendant, the assailant made his way to the cash cage. The assailant scared the employees by announcing that two bombs were planted in the building. If the employees didn’t hand him all the money, the bombs would be set off. This heist plan was successful and the armed man took off with almost $60,000.

Soon after, the entire casino was evacuated and what was believed to be a bomb was only a shoe box covered in duct tape. Investigators came to the conclusion that this well planned fake bomb heist was carried out successfully after creating distractions at the same time. These distractions were a hoax call for bomb in another nearby casino and a fire in elementary school. These diversions were actually quite successful in keeping the authorities busy while the heist was happening. Even after 12 years, this robbery remains unsolved and no one has been charged.
