Police video shows suspect in Fairmount Park robbery
BY ELIZABETH DONALD - News-Democrat
COLLINSVILLE -- Police released a videotape Wednesday of the Fairmount Park Racetrack robbery earlier this month, in the hopes of gaining new leads.
The video can be seen at bnd.com.
At about 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 12, an employee was forced at gunpoint to open a safe and a "large amount" of cash was taken. The racetrack was not open at the time, and the employee was not injured.
"We're looking for help in solving this," Collinsville Lt. Tom Coppotelli said. "There's a large amount of money taken, the largest in any recent memory."
Coppotelli would not give the exact dollar figure, but said it was "six figures."
"it's either going to be that this guy was a customer and did a lot of surveillance, because he knew their methods, or he had someone he was talking to who did have firsthand knowledge," Coppotelli said. "We are pursuing several avenues and we have some good leads, and we're hoping this will generate further interest."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Collinsville Police Department at 344-2131 or Crime Stoppers at 866-371-8477.
