| Atlantic City, N.J.

Police are seeking two masked suspects who robbed an Atlantic City casino at gunpoint and made off with more than $180,000.

The heist occurred Monday morning at Caesars Atlantic City.

A law enforcement flier obtained by The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/1tu2pAD ) says the suspects fled in a car with two plastic cash boxes containing more than $180,000 in cash.

Police are not releasing any details.

The newspaper says the State Police Casino Gaming Bureau is handling the investigation. That's a sign the crime happened in thecasino as opposed to the hotel.

Here's the full police flier from The Press of Atlantic City: 

"Two masked suspects fled a casino with more than $180,000 Monday morning.

A gun was brandished by one of the suspects during the robbery at Caesars Atlantic City, according to a flier put out to law enforcement.

Police are not releasing any details of the robbery, but the flier obtained by The Press of Atlantic City said the suspects fled with two plastic cash boxes containing a total of $181,200 in cash.

The State Police Casino Gaming Bureau is investigating the case, which would indicate the crime happened in a casino-related part of the property. The hotel and public areas are overseen by city police.

The suspects fled in a car at about 6:20 a.m."

Anyone with information is asked to call the Casino Gaming Bureau at 609-441-7464.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
