    Violent robbery at a nightclub: VPD

    • Violent robbery at a nightclub: VPD

    Vancouver police have released a photo and video of a man they believe might have key details about a violent nightclub robbery earlier this year in the Yaletown neighbourhood.

    The heist happened April 9th when two suspects entered the club after hours, threatened staff with a gun and knife, zap-strapped and forcibly confined six people -- and left one victim with a life-altering injury.

    The suspects then escaped with 25-thousand dollars in cash.

    Police say they have identified a number of suspects but need additional evidence before charges can be recommended and they hope the man -- who was in the club and was wearing a black zip up jacket and black ball cap with white logo -- will come forward or will be identified by someone who knows him.
