The hunt for miss bingo robber
7th April, 2008
The hunt for a woman who is believed to have robbed the bingo hall has started with the North Versailles police on the case.
Chief James Comunicale reported that the suspect went into the Eastland bingo hall at around 21:45pm on Thursday, April 3 with something acting as a face mask. She waved a semiautomatic gun in the air and ordered for the money to be given to her, while commanding 60 players in the hall to face down the ground.
Chief said the woman got hold of the cash register drawer that had about $2,000, then grabbed some cash from the table and ran.
Communale is organising extra patrols to be searching the area around the hall. This should start on Tuesday, the night when the bingo is going to be played again in the hall.
The woman who allegedly stole the bingo cash has been decribed as black, in her late twenties, 5,5 feet tall. She had braided hair and was quite slim.
