A trio of law enforcement agencies is investigating the apparent theft of a "large" amount of money from the Santa Ysabel Casino in northeast San Diego County.
The theft apparently occurred over the weekend and was discovered Monday morning, authorities said.
Located off California 79, 50 miles from San Diego, the casino is owned by the Santa Ysabel Band of Mission Indians and caters to gamblers on a tight budget: with slot machines starting at one-cent and "the lowest limit blackjack around."
Like all casinos, it has surveillance cameras throughout. Authorities said the theft was from a "secure" area and that unspecified evidence was left behind.
The FBI, San Diego County Sheriff's Department, and California Department of Justice are involved in the investigation.
Authorities were tight-lipped on how the theft occurred except to say that it had none of clever, high-drama aspects glamorized in the 2004 movie "Oceans Twelve" starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
