Balaclava bandits rob bar

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,24914508-5006301,00.html
TWO men, one armed with a pistol or replica, robbed an Unley bar tonight.

The men were wearing balaclavas when they entered BarZaar, an Unley Rd bar and poker machine venue shortly before 9.50pm.
They stole cash from the till and escaped on foot.


I think Sturt are having a hard enough time as it is without this happening...

Geeez...hope the staff and customers got nothing worse than a bad fright.

Wouldn't the insurance cover any losses and damage?

Regards
JAS

Not good news, let's hope they catch the bastards...

So you're saying your brother was in the area at the time of the robbery then...where's that crimestoppers number? ;)

Terrible luck for Sturt and the management at Barzaar. They don't need any more problems at the moment!

I don't know that he was specifically working last night, I was more implying that I hope these offenders don't repeat in the same area putting my brother at risk. He used to work at a video store and has been held up a couple of times, not a good experience.

It's not good for the Sturt footy club though, let's hope that someone saw something and does use that Crimestopers number you spoke of.

I saw a bald angry man with bright green sneakers running away.







Bad joke - hope the staff working there are OK.

It is alleged the perpetrators were seen leaving on foot wearing Norwood supporter gear.


They needed the extra money to pay Bryce Campbell's sign up fee!!!

Hmm there's irony - you asking for a thread to be deleted when your the cause of most of the deleted threads and responses that appear on this site!

I certainly dont, these bastards are targeting venues closer to my work almost by the day, when "dodgy" looking characters come in, i am edgy to say the least.
