The man told officers how Naushka Machuca, 19, of Marlborough, and Tashawana Tuckta, 19, of Boston, had coerced the individual to follow them from the casino floor to a hotel room.
When the man entered the room, the third assailant, Dominyck Sims, 28, of Worcester, was wielding a knife and demanded the victim hand over his belongings, including $1,500. Sims also reportedly told the victim not to report the crime to the authorities.
Sims, said the Lincoln Police, “threatened him (the victim) with a knife, and took the cash. After the incident, the victim was allowed to leave and was instructed not to contact authorities. Following an immediate and coordinated investigation, Lincoln Police officers apprehended all three suspects.”
