(Freeport, Long Island -AP, October 3, 2005) - Police hope security cameras caught some of the robbers who held up a casino boat in Freeport over the weekend. Police say a gang of four to six armed men robbed most of the 350 passengers and then robbed the safe of the Majesty Casino boat Saturday night.
Police say the robbers jumped out of a dark gray Oldsmobile around 7:25 p.m. Saturday just before the board was to leave the dock in Freeport. One gunman held a gun to the boat owner's head and forced him on board. They then ordered 100 passengers to "stay down and don't move."
The owner of the boat - Gary Gelman - told police that the gunmen then forced the cashier to open the safe.
Police say security cameras may have caught some of the robbery, and they hope the surveillance tape will identify some of the robbers.
