An official at the Gran Melia Golf Resort on Puerto Rico's north coast says four men strode into its casino and held tourists and employees at gunpoint while they stole $250,000.
According to the Managing Director Hendrick Santos, two of the robbers kept watch while one jumped on a table to demand the money and the other stuffed bills into bags.
The robbery occurred while fewer than two dozen people were playing roulette or sitting at blackjack tables and slot machines.
The four masked gunmen were caught on camera, and a fifth suspect who waited outside in a getaway car.
However, no one has been arrested.
