Gabayeron was allegedly caught on surveillance footage robbing the Royal Poker gaming arcade in Olei last Thursday. Gabayeron was reportedly seen entering the arcade and leaving after robbing the cashier of about $650.
The suspect allegedly walked into the establishment between 6:30am and 6:45am after security has left and made sure that there were no other people inside the establishment before proceeding with the robbery.
The suspect called the cashier for assistance first before forcing her way into the cashier’s area and holding the cashier at knifepoint.
A short struggle occurred before the suspect was able to open the cash register and grab a handful of cash valued at about $650.
The suspect then fled the establishment, going south toward Oleai.
