A Las Vegas gang member was arrested this week for allegedly stealing a safe containing $750,000 in cash and $250,000 in poker chips from the home of pro poker player Chad Power.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Brock Brewer, 32, and at least one other man, allegedly followed Power from a Las Vegas casino to his Henderson, Nev.<\/a> house earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The duo returned on Feb. 10, when they allegedly broke into the residence through a back door when nobody was home. They stole the safe before fleeing via a front door, police said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Power was playing poker at the Las Vegas Strip’s Aria Hotel & Casino<\/a> when the break-in took place, police told KVVU<\/em>, a local TV station.<\/p>\n

The burglary was captured on a home surveillance camera. Video showed two men breaking into the residence, police said. When they left, one had the safe on his shoulder, police add.<\/p>\n

Ties to Prior Vegas Thefts<\/h2>\n

Soon after the crime, a Henderson detective assigned to the case looked for prior burglaries or robberies which targeted poker players in Southern Nevada.<\/p>\n

\n

It was discovered that in 2006, an unnamed poker player was followed from the Bellagio back to his house. That’s where $15,000 in cash and chips were stolen, KVVU<\/em> said. Brewer was a suspect in that case, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An earlier photo of Brewer was similar to the man shown in the video taken at Power\u2019s home. A check of cellphone records showed Brewer was at the house when the duo stole the safe, police said.<\/p>\n

Following their investigation, Henderson police booked Brewer Tuesday at the Clark County Detention Center. He was charged with theft of $100,000 or greater, conspiracy, and home invasion, the Review-Journal<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Brewer remained in custody at the jail as of Thursday morning, according to correctional center records. He is scheduled to appear in Henderson Justice Court on June 1.<\/p>\n

Belongs to New Born Crips Gang, Cops Said<\/h2>\n

Brewer is a known gang member, according to the Review-Journal.<\/em>\u00a0Police reveal he is a member of the New Born Crips gang. It is also known as \u201cNBC.\u201d His gang moniker is \u201cC-Rida.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, Brewer was convicted for attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, conspiracy, and robbery, police told the Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Brewer lives in the security-gated Rhodes Ranch neighborhood of Las Vegas. Police recently spotted Brewer driving a 2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vehicle’s listed owner was Brewer\u2019s mother, according to police. It was purchased on Feb. 15 through a $30,000 cash down-payment at a Claremont, Calif. dealer. Also located at Brewer\u2019s residence was a 2018 Maserati Levante SUV. It also is registered to Brewer\u2019s mother. It was purchased in Arizona for $60,000 in cash, police said.<\/p>\n

Police seized both vehicles. Officers believe at least these two vehicles were purchased by using the stolen cash. A third vehicle at Brewer\u2019s home was also seized by cops.<\/p>\n

The currency stolen from the safe was in $100 bills. Most were grouped in collections of $50,000.<\/p>\n

Chad Power Ranked Poker Player<\/h2>\n

Chad Power has earned $610,094 in total live tournament winnings, based on information from the Hendon Mob poker database.<\/p>\n

He is ranked 3,533rd<\/sup> on an all-time money list. He lists his residence as Pittsburgh, Pa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
