Carrying on with our blogging theme of private poker parties being robbed, it happened again on Thursday. One poker game ended with no winners when Five hooded suspects with bandannas covering their face robbed a high-stakes poker game early Thursday morning leaving with $15,000 in proceeds, jewellery and electronics.
Police went out to 11 Avalon Gardens Drive after receiving a 911 hangup call at 12:30 a.m., Clarkstown police Sgt. James Fay said.
The homeowner and eight other men who were playing poker told police they were ambushed by five Hispanic males wearing hooded sweatshirts and bandanas, Fay said.
They had surrounded one of the poker players, Fay said, after he had stepped outside for cigarette and forced him at gunpoint to let them into the home.
The robbers stole $15,000 in cash, a large amount of jewelry and some electronic items, Fay said.
This never happens on PokerTime.
