Gambling Parlor Robbed by...Fake Cops

2008_08_bklyngamble.jpgA gambling den was held up by three men who posed as cops: WNBC has footage of "men armed with guns and radios rounding up unsuspecting patrons in the Midwood home, lining some against a wall and searching their pockets for cash." The gambling parlor was illegal, but apparently customers have agreed to file complaints. Police have not made any arrests; the suspects are reportedly "male whites in their 30's." Last year, a group of robbers held up a Flatiron gambling den and a patron was killed when a gun "accidentally" went off.
