8 arrested in daring New Jersey casino heist
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Eight people, including a recently fired security guard, are under arrest in connection with the daring armed robbery of an Atlantic City casino.
The July 21 heist of Caesars Atlantic City touched off a three-state manhunt that ended with a Delaware state trooper being shot, but the bulletproof vest he was wearing saved his life.
New Jersey State Police say Izyiah Plummer and an accomplice brandished a gun and robbed former co-workers of two plastic boxes of cash with more than $180,000 inside.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Five are charged in the heist and remain in jail. Three others are accused of receiving stolen property.
It could not immediately be determined if they have hired lawyers.
