TALLINN - Estonian casinos suffered another robbery on Tuesday, the latest in a string of similar heists that have taken place over the past few months.
A masked man carrying what appeared to be a handgun entered a gaming hall in
the Mustamae district of
Tallinn at 5:12 a.m. on Tuesday and made off with more than 1,000 euros in cash.
About 20 casino robberies have been committed in
different parts of Estonia over the past few months, with
police having little success in solving them so far.
An armed robbery committed concealing one's face
carries 15 years in jail as maximum punishment in Estonia.
