On Saturday afternoon in Prince George's County, Maryland, a group of teenagers set off a fire extinguisher on the casino floor at MGM National Harbor and proceeded to steal a bunch of playing chips.

Some of the robbers fled the scene and remained at large as of Monday morning, reported DC News Now. Three suspects — an 18-year-old and two 16-year-old males — were captured and are all being charged as adults.

“I think it’s just shocking and it’s shameful where our society is going with kids. [They] think they can do whatever they want and feel no accountability, and it seems to be getting worse,” a visitor to the casino from Alabama told DC News Now, while a tourist from Texas echoed those sentiments, calling the crime "disappointing and shocking."

Police are offering a $2,500 reward to anyone whose tip leads to the arrest of one of the at-large suspects. Tipsters can visit the Prince George's County Crime Solvers website or call 1-866-411-8477 with the case number 24-0014954.
