Oh, how our hearts bleed for the poor owners of Stiletto’s all-nude strip club, who were robbed at gunpoint early this morning by two men.  The robbers tied three employees up before making off with $10,000 from the safe, in addition to the manager’s jewelery, including a Rolex watch.  Both robbers were described as Hispanic males, 25 to 35, standing 5′ 10″ tall, and weighing about 200 lbs.

There is no word on whether or not the robbers told the all-nude dancers to empty their pockets.

Who here wouldn’t care if this place closed for good? Sound off below.

Early this morning, two men forced their way into Bob’s Furniture on Route 59 near Hutton Ave at gunpoint after a cleaning woman unlocked the door to let another cleaning woman inside.  The men displayed guns and proceeded to tie up the cleaning woman while the manager was ordered to open the safe.  Unfortunately, neither witness was able to provide any useful information aside from a cursory description of one of the assailants, described as a black man in his late 20s standing approximately 5′ 10″ and weighing 160 lbs.

The robbers made off with about $20,000 in cash and checks.  Despite that the entire event was caught on various security cameras, police have no leads, and could not even confirm whether or not the robbers left in a vehicle.  Police believe the men crossed the street and drove off from there. Still this demonstrates the futility of the pervasive surveillance state at actually stopping crime.

Rudy Alvarado, a 22-year old former Rockland resident was arrested in connection with an earlier armed robbery on Freedman Ave, in which the bungling crooks made off with $15 and left a handgun at the scene. Police are still searching for the other three men involved in the robbery.

An armed robbery happened at 3:20 am in Nanuet last night. Four men in a silver car, carrying a handgun, robbed a man of his wallet. Strangely, police recovered the handgun at the scene, meaning that somehow the robber left the gun behind.

We applaud the incredible self-discipline of the victim to not recover the gun himself and use it to mow down the robbers in a Scarface-esque hail of gunfire.

Strangely, we didn’t see this one in the Journal News!
