Revel is missing nearly $21,000 that fell from the top of an armored car following a cash pickup, according to a report from the Press of Atlantic City.

The soon-to-be-closed casino was notified of the missing cash hours after an armored car made the pickup on Aug. 6, the report said.

According to an incident report obtained by the newspaper, surveillance video shows the bag of money on top of the roof near the rear driver's side as the truck left the casino around 10:50 a.m.

The bag remained on top of the truck during a subsequent stop at Resort's Atlantic City, and then fell off some point after that, the report said.

The owner of the armored vehicle, GardaWorld, has opened an investigation on the case.

Revel's hotel will shut down on Sept. 1, and the casino will close the following morning.
