Deadly Takeover: (S06E06) In June of 2000, two gunmen rob a Seattle, WA bank, and flee on foot as officers chase them. One of the gunmen is killed in a firefight with police, the other escapes after assaulting a family and using their home to hide. The family helps FBI agents identify the man, who is suspected of several other robberies. Seattle SWAT teams, working with the FBI, search the home of the assailant’s mother, and find ammunition matching that used at the bank robbery. Agents seize a number of documents from the man that not only implicate him in an international fencing ring, but also provide agents with Internet records, leading them to believe that despite his mother’s home in Montego Bay, the man is most likely still in Seattle. After 7 long months of hiding, the man surrenders to the FBI, and is sentenced to 23 years for assault and robbery.
Dangerous Gamble: (S06E13) In Henderson, NV, a suburb of Las Vegas, two robbers brandishing assault rifles ambush armored guards as they exit their truck on March 3, 2000. The robbers kill both guards and seize $5,000. As the killers run to their getaway car, a police officer arrives and opens fire, striking one escaping assailant in the leg. After loosing the killers in a chase, police collect blood left by the injured robber and bullet casings from the firefight. Las Vegas Police and the FBI notice similarities to brazen midday robberies at the MGM Grand casino, the Desert Inn casino and the Mandalay Bay casino. The FBI developed a list of suspects after the September 20, 1998 MGM Grand robbery. In that heist, two armed men stormed the casino, broke into its main cage, and stole $350,000. A month later, a recent parolee with a $10,000 income, purchased a $169,000 home in the name of his wife’s relative. Investigators’ suspicions of the suspects increased after robbers opened fire on two armored guards in front of the Desert Inn casino on June 28, 1999. Police found the robber’s getaway car at the nearby Vagabond Inn parked next to an abandoned truck that belonged to one of the suspects’ brother-in-law. On June 3, 2000 a security camera captures the robbers as they steal $155,523 from the Bellagio. One of the men’s parole officers confirms their suspicions, and arrests are made.
