ATLANTIC CITY – Two men have been arrested in connection with a violent robbery of a New York man at his casino hotel room Saturday morning.
Chester Rose, 56, of Charles City, Va., and Chart Chavalaporan, 53, of Philadelphia have each been charged with aggravated assault, robbery and conspiracy, Atlantic City police said in a statement.
The pair attacked the 76-year-old man as he attempted to enter his room at Harrah's Hotel and Casino around 5 a.m., according to police. Clad in ski masks, they allegedly pushed him inside and beat him before taking off with casino chips, cash and a cell phone.
