Arrest made in $1.5M heist at Soboba casino

Tuesday, August 7, 2007  

Authorities arrested a man suspected of stealing $1.5 million from the casino owned by the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians.

Rolando Luda Ramos, 25, was a surveillance technician at the Soboba Casino. He allegedly used a gun to make his way into a casino vault last Thursday.

Authorities recovered over $1.4 million from Ramos and Eric Alan Magdaleno Aguilera, a man suspected of driving the getaway car for the robbery. Another $153,000 is outstanding but it appears some of it was used to buy cocaine. Ramos was allegedly high when he was arrested near the Los Angeles International Airport.
