In Huntington Beach, lady luck ran out for a suspect who thought he could double down with stolen cash at a casino. The Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) made it clear that crime doesn't gamble well in their town, as they successfully tracked down and arrested a man involved in a February 1st ATM robbery.

The HBPD had been on a manhunt since the robbery where a duo hit an ATM maintenance worker, bagging a hefty sum of money and making a run for it, their rapid response and investigation efforts led to the identification of the two suspects. While one was already cooling his heels behind bars in another state for different misdeeds, the second was busy trying his hand at the tables in Riverside County, trying to tempt fate with the spoils of his alleged criminal activity.

According to a Facebook post by HBPD dated April 29th, the arrest came this weekend, when the supposed fortune of the second suspect crumbled, "the moment we showed up, his winning streak ended," the department boasted. The impudent criminal had apparently pushed his luck too far and was taken into custody, ending his short-lived casino adventure.

The HBPD has sent a strong signal with this arrest, resting not until justice has reached those who evade it, "We will find you if you commit a crime in Huntington Beach," the department stated, "It might not happen immediately, but we will track you down and bring you to our jail," this serves as a stern warning to anyone thinking of committing crime in their jurisdiction.

The department's social media message wrapped up with a bit of tongue-in-cheek advice for would-be offenders, "#crimedoesntpayinHB," reaffirming their stance and determination to safeguard the community from future ATM bandits and the like.
