A Las Vegas woman, Regina Valenzuela, has been accused of stealing more than $113,000 from Sectran Security, the armored truck company where she was employed. This money was meant for delivery to two local casinos, Dotty’s Casino franchises, according to police reports.
Valenzuela was arrested on September 29 and booked at the Clark County Detention Center on charges of theft exceeding $100,000. Police booking logs confirm her arrest following an investigation that revealed she allegedly misappropriated $112,532 from the company she worked for.
The theft is believed to have occurred on May 31, when Valenzuela was on her delivery route. Surveillance footage captured her moving bags of cash into her personal vehicle, prompting investigators to warrant her arrest.
After receiving a report of the missing funds on May 31, a manager at Sectran Security contacted the police and indicated that the theft might have been committed by someone within the company. He pointed to Valenzuela, who had started her employment on April 2, as a potential suspect due to her recent personal issues, which she had disclosed at work.
On that day, Valenzuela began her shift at 6:30 a.m., but she returned to the company’s headquarters by 8:30 a.m. without further communication and later left, citing a family emergency. Shortly after her return, another employee was assigned to complete her delivery route. When the company conducted its end-of-day cash inventory, they found that two specific bags of cash were missing—one containing $88,352 and the other $24,180.
Prior to returning to the office, Valenzuela briefly stopped at a nearby gas station. While at the station, she was in possession of the two transport bags. During a critical period between 7:06 a.m. and 7:14 a.m., Valenzuela refueled the armored vehicle, which disabled internal cameras and created an eight-minute gap in the surveillance footage.
Upon her return to Sectran Security, the footage captured Valenzuela allegedly transferring the bags of money into her personal car before she drove away, raising suspicions among her employers. The following day, on June 1, she visited the company once more, claiming again that she had to leave due to a family emergency involving her children and an ex-partner recently released from prison.
During this visit, Valenzuela was uncooperative and displayed confrontational behavior, showing little concern for the missing cash. When confronted with footage substantiating her involvement, she continued to deny any wrongdoing. After her termination, Valenzuela’s phone number was disconnected, and her last known address was found to be vacant.
Further investigation revealed that police had received an anonymous tip stating that Valenzuela had been
