Man indicted in September robbery at M Resort
The man arrested in the Sept. 25 robbery of the M Resort has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Damir Vucic, 35, who is alleged to have taken $38,904 at gunpoint in the casino heist, was charged with robbery and use of a firearm in a crime of violence.
He is to be arraigned on the charges in federal court on Dec. 3.
The Bosnian-born Vucic, who is in federal custody, has not been charged with any other crimes, but an FBI complaint filed last month ties him to a Sept. 1 "smash and grab" burglary at the South Point and a Sept. 8 break-in at a Sam's Club in which more than $160,000 in jewelry was stolen.
FBI agents arrested Vucic Oct. 3 on the New York side of Niagara Falls near the Canadian border.
Authorities believe the same vehicle used in the M Resort robbery was used in the South Point burglary, according to the complaint.
FBI agents searched the apartment of Vucic's ex-wife with her consent and found $21,800 in cash and $131,340 in jewelry in a safe, the FBI complaint alleges. Agents believe the jewelry was from the Sam's Club burglary.
