A woman with a similar physical description as Casey Eleeson robbed a Rapid City casino late Tuesday night.
At about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night the robber arrived with a handgun at the Royal Casino on Rapid City's west side and demanded money from the casino employee.
There were no customers in the casino at the time and the employee was not injured.
Police believe the robber is Eleeson and say she is a threat to the community.
Captain Deb Cady of the Rapid City Police Department, said, “Whoever committed the armed robbery last night is obviously a dangerous person, I mean just to commit that act in itself shows she's a dangerous person. So, if the public has any information please contact us immediately. If they believe they see the suspect call in on 911 immediately"
Police say they are investigating the robbery and shooting separately but because of the similarities in the two cases investigators are sharing information to see if the two are related.
