PHILADELPHIA -

Police are warning gamblers at the SugarHouse casino to be alert on your drive home.

There have been a series of robberies, all targeting people of Asian descent.

Police say the suspects have followed four victims to their homes and used a stun gun on them once they got out of their cars. They were then robbed of their cash.

The robberies happened in the early-morning hours between Sept. 12 and Sept. 19th.

So far, $35,000 has been taken, police said.

"SugarHouse is cooperating fully with police as they investigate the alleged profiling of Asian players," said SugarHouse Casino's General Manager, Wendy Hamilton, in a statement. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our guests. With 500 surveillance cameras, we are providing law enforcement countless photos to help quickly apprehend these thugs."
