A Chicago man was arrested Saturday after he repeatedly stole gambling chips off tables inside Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, police said.

Barr stole a $500 chip out of the dealer’s box on a blackjack table, police said in a news release.
He left the casino and drove off before officers arrived, then returned to Rivers, and stole $200 in chips off a table and cashed them in, according to police. Barr agreed to return that money but was charged for the first theft, police said.
