Masked burglars steal $250,000 from Atlanta strip club after breaking in through ceiling, police say
View Date:2024-12-23 18:44:58
An Atlanta strip club had its safes cut into when two masked burglars entered the business through the ceiling and stole a quarter of a million dollars, police said.
Atlanta police officers responded to the Onyx Gentlemen's Club around 4:16 a.m. local time regarding a burglary, the department said in a news release.
Based on the preliminary investigation, two burglars wearing ski masks and gloves entered through the strip club's ceiling, police said. Once inside the club, the burglars crawled to the safes, according to the release.
The burglars "used power tools to cut into the safes and stole around $250,000 in cash," police said. During the crime, the security alarm was never tripped, according to the department.
In addition to cutting into the safes, the burglars positioned the ATMs in the club face down, the department said. None of the ATMs were damaged or broken into, according to the police.
The burglars fled the crime scene about two hours after they entered the strip club, police said. An investigation into the burglary "remains active and ongoing," the department said.
USA TODAY contacted the Onyx Gentlemen's Club on Wednesday afternoon but did not receive a response.
