Cleaners hoovered cash from slot machines
Two cleaning ladies are being investigated for using industrial vacuum cleaners to suck cash out of casino slot machines.
The women allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash out of slot machines in a Slovenian casino.
The police have now been called in after bosses at Casino Korona in the Kranjska Gora ski resort grew suspicious.
They say money started disappearing from slot machines after the casino closed for the night.
Officers believe at least two of the casinos cleaning ladies had been using the giant vacuum cleaners for months to suck cash out of the machines slots.
Casino bosses estimate the women could have stolen up to £330,000 pounds but cannot prove it. The entire cleaning staff has been sacked.
