Two nuns admitted to stealing 500,000 US from the Catholic school in California, where they officiated to go to gambling in Las Vegas casinos, his order said Monday.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles said the embezzlement was discovered during a routine audit and it is believed that the nuns had stolen the money for at least a decade.

Although the police have been alerted, the Archdiocese said it does not plan to make criminal charges against the nuns who for years officiated as moral educators of the students.
