A maintenance employee at a Bourbon Street bar stole more than $500,000 out of a safe in the bar's office, New Orleans police said at a news conference on Wednesday.

Vincent Randazzo, 43, was seen on surveillance images stealing the cash from Bourbon Street Cowboy at 241 Bourbon St. around 6 a.m. on March 26, NOPD Lt. Anthony Caprera told reporters. Randazzo was allowed access to the office because of his work.


quote:

Police said more arrests could come as they continue trying to track down the rest of the loot.

"Our goal is to run this out as far as we can, and ultimately recover all the property taken from the victim," Caprera said. "That's what we're working toward."

Good luck trying to find the cash.


Not sure why a bar would have 500k in cash laying around.

It's interesting that this guy was smart enough to conceal a camera to record the safe combination, but too dumb to disable or evade the surveillance system.

No shite.. I predict more Bars to be robbed now...

Keeping 500K in cash is pretty suspect

When I heard the last name Randazzo I immediately thought it was some shady shite. He allegedly took over $500K and they still can't find another $600K? That's some fishy shite.

I guess if you lose that much cash you got to report it, but you have to believe these owners just opened the door to a shite load of snooping around into what the hell they were up to holding that much in cash on site.

Exactly. And what kind of bar on Bourbon St. keeps over a million dollars in cash in a small shitty safe in the back room?

Got to put your off the books cash somewhere. Although most dont keep it in the business.


The bar I ran in Auburn, the owner easily had that in his safe
