An impudent robbery committed by 4 masked gunmen occurred at the Riverside poker Club last Friday.
While the game was at its most, the 4 armed men broke into the club, held the 12 players up, took all their money and made off with it. What’s worse, they left the 12 men and women naked and tied up with their own belts and shoelaces, thus, absolutely helpless. This was supposed to prevent them from calling the police, or at least let the criminals pass out of sight unnoticed.
The door of the club is usually locked. However, the criminals were cunning enough to wait outside till somebody wanted to get a breath of fresh air. One of the gunmen then grabbed the player and pushed him inside.
The criminals were only too happy to rob the poker players, take credit cards and cash from their wallets, make the victims strip and cut up their clothes, detective Kolby Watson reports.
The players had to put on trash bags to go outside and call the police. That was quite a courageous thing to do.
