Luxury Watch Thefts at Fontainebleau Casino: Four Arrested

Four suspects were recently apprehended by police in connection with the theft of two expensive watches at Club LIV in the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

The Incidents

The first incident occurred on August 17 when the victim, Ye Zaw, entered a restroom at the nightclub. Upon exiting, he was pushed and bumped by several individuals. It was later discovered that his $400,000 Richard Mille watch was missing.

A similar scenario unfolded on September 15 when Roman Loyfenfeld was surrounded by the same suspects while on the dance floor. After a scuffle, Loyfenfeld realized his $120,000 Richard Mille watch had been stolen. Surveillance footage was reviewed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to identify the suspects.

Suspects Apprehended

On November 22, Fontainebleau security guards identified the suspects using facial recognition technology. Milton Castillo Martinez, Laura Vargas, Briyith Munoz, and Johan Hernandez were subsequently arrested and booked at the Clark County Detention Center for grand larceny and conspiracy to commit grand larceny.

The suspects are set to appear in court on January 22, facing potential prison sentences if convicted. According to local police, the thefts were meticulously planned, involving coordination and distraction to separate the victims from their watches.

Additional Rolex Theft

In a separate incident, a sex worker identified as Koncina Brisbon was arrested for allegedly stealing a luxury watch from a guest at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Brisbon reportedly met the man in the hotel’s Bleau Bar, engaged in flirtatious behavior, and later drugged him to steal his $125,000 Rolex watch, along with cash and casino chips.

The Fontainebleau spokesperson emphasized the resort’s commitment to guest safety and security, underscoring the importance of maintaining a secure environment for all visitors.
