Police recover ancient Torah stolen from Strip casino in June

Officers returned the Torah to its owner and said that no arrests have been made and that investigation is ongoing.

The artifact was taken from a convention room at The Venetian where the victim had left it. The Torah had been in the convention room since June 8 until it was taken by an unknown person.

In July, police released surveillance video of a man walking through the resort pulling a suitcase on wheels. He was described as white, 25 to 35 years old, about 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-2 tall. The man was wearing a black hat, a green shirt and dark-colored pants.
