Swiss casino robbed by armed gang

An armed gang of masked men raided a casino packed with about 600 guests early March 28 and made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to Swiss prosecutors. About 10 men dressed in black arrived in two cars at the Grand Casino near Basel shortly after 4:00 a.m. One smashed the front door with a sledgehammer, and the others ran inside with guns, the statement said. A group of men ordered the guests and employees to the floor, while their accomplices emptied registers in the basement and an upper floor, it said. (AP)
