Wedding Heist: Man Steals Gift Box From Newlyweds at Wedding Ceremony

  • George and Nadeen Farahat's wedding at Renaissance Banquet Hall in Glendale on Saturday night ended with a theft of a gift box containing between $80,000 and $100,000 in cash, checks, and gift cards.
  • The theft occurred after an uninvited man, who had mingled for about 90 minutes and even ordered a drink, grabbed the box and fled through a side door to a black Mercedes-Benz waiting in an alleyway.
  • Security cameras captured the man dressed in black stealing the box, and the party, attended by nearly 300 guests, immediately stopped as music ceased and everyone became aware of the situation.
  • The couple, who had paid for heightened security, are not seeking donations but offer a $5,000 reward for tips leading to the thief's arrest while urging other couples to be aware of risks involving cash gifts at weddings.
  • Glendale Police Department confirmed the incident is under active investigation and encouraged anyone with information to contact them via the provided email address to aid in apprehending the suspect.
