Details are emerging about the five Los Angeles Crips gang members arrested for trying to rob the casino last week and the armed robbery of the casino last fall.
One of those arrested, Jajuan Bell, has robbed several casinos before and was acquitted for robbery in Nevada because the casino did not want to reveal how much was stolen, according to the authorities.
The girlfriend of Bell told police that he had asked on September 12, 2007, if he could stay at her home in Palmdale, Calif., in the desert. He is the father of her child.
The next day, on Sept. 13, The Golden West Casino was robbed when suspects armed with guns assailed the casino. The suspects stole about $60,000 in cash.
Bell and his collaborators were at his girlfriend’s home, counting money . Bell gave her $2,500, and a cell phone he had stolen from the casino.
The girlfriend dialed the cell phone and learned the Golden West Casino was robbed. She then called the casino and talked to detectives there.
The girlfriend also provided detectives with Bell’s phone numbers.
Detectives wiretapped Bell and several suspects’ phones and overheard them talking about robbing the Golden West Casino.
On March 31, deputies thwarted the five suspects from robbing the casino by using spike strips on the highway, near the casino. Deputies seized an AK-47 and 12-gauge shotguns from the suspects’ vehicle.
