In the early hours of October 1, 1993, a quiet but daring heist unfolded on the Las Vegas Strip. 

 

What began as an ordinary day at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino turned into a high-stakes mystery that would take years to unravel, forever changing the way casinos approached their security. 

 

In a heist that seemed straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, over $3 million in cash was stolen from an armoured truck without a single alarm being raised or a single shot being fired. It wasn’t until hours later that anyone realized the money was gone—and so were the culprits.
