An Australian man who picked up $200 from the floor of the Burswood Casino in Perth has been found guilty of stealing.
Adrian Lamonica-Miraglio, 22, of Lockridge, fought a charge of one count of stealing - but was convicted by Magistrate Wayne Tarr, fined $500 and given a spent conviction order. Mr Lamonica-Miraglio was also ordered to pay more than $300 in court costs.
It was alleged that at about 8.30pm on March 27 the apprentice refrigeration mechanic was having drinks with friends at one of the casino's bars when he noticed the cash and picked it up and put it in his pocket.
He said he made no attempt to spend the money and handed it over when he was approached by casino security staff. Police later arrived after he was questioned in a holding cell at the casino for three hours and charged. Lamonica-Miraglio has since been given a life ban from Burswood Casino.
