GREENVILLE, Miss. (AP) — City police are searching for two armed robbers who allegedly stole more than $70,000 from a casino over the weekend, then escaped by boat.

The masked robbers jumped over the counter at the Lighthouse Point Casino cashier's booth at about 11 p.m. Friday and took $75,000, according to police documents.

Then, they fled the scene in a boat, which was later recovered by police on the south end of Lake Ferguson.

A boat trailer was recovered south of the casino.
