The Vancouver Police Department is investigating a serious incident involving an armed robbery at a Yaletown nightclub.
Police have released security footage of a man who may have more information about the armed robbery, which included forcible confinement at a Yaletown nightclub this April.
An investigation began on April 9, after two suspects entered the club, which hasn’t been named, after hours.
The suspects threatened staff with a gun and knife and stole $25,000 in cash.
A release from the Vancouver Police Department says that during the “takeover-style robbery,” six victims had their hands zap-strapped and were forcibly confined.
“One victim was seriously assaulted and suffered a life-altering injury.”
