On August 26, 1980, a huge metal box was delivered to Harvey's Wagon Wheel casino, disguised as an IBM photocopier. An X-ray confirmed that the complex explosive inside contained 1,000lb of dynamite.
Bustamante Leiva was also accused of a second theft on April 17 at the Westin Hotel in Washington, DC. In both cases, the stolen credit cards were later used at a grocery store to purchase gift cards.
