Two New Jersey women—including a middle school computer teacher—have been charged after allegedly physically restraining a casino guest at Harrah’s Atlantic City and using his phone’s facial recognition technology to steal $1,250, according to court documents. The victim was allegedly stripped naked before being “physically restrained” and robbed of $1,250 by two women, one of whom is a middle school computer teacher. Amanda Crafts, 35, of Wildwood, N.J., and Veda Engel, 23, of Cape May, face theft and conspiracy to commit robbery charges in relation to the Oct. 9 incident.
