Hayward casino owners robbed in Livermore home invasion
LIVERMORE — The owners of a small Hayward casino were tied up and had their faces covered by gunmen during a home invasion robbery Tuesday morning, police said.
Few details were released Wednesday morning, but the victims appeared to be part owners of the Palace Poker Casino, a small gambling house on Mission Boulevard in Hayward.
Reached by phone this morning, the victims declined to comment.
The two people were home at 4:40 a.m. when two suspects, each wearing masks and gloves and carrying a gun, forcibly entered the home on Reginald Court, according to a Livermore police news release. Police said the suspects tied up the pair, but did not say what was used to tie them up or what was used to cover the victims’ faces, citing the ongoing investigation.
The invaders then rummaged through the home, being selective in the property they took, police said. The victims were not identified, and police did not release the name of the casino they own. They were not physically injured during the robbery.
The incident was the latest in a string of home invasions in Livermore — the agency’s tracker lists 12 incidents of breaking and entering in the past month — but police emphasized this incident was not related and called Tuesday’s robbery “an isolated incident.”
