Winnfield City Police continue seeking leads that could result in the arrest of the individual responsible for the robbery of Lagniappe Video Bingo on Hwy 167 north on January 25.
Detective David Loftin says that security video on the premises shows seven occupants were in the building at 1:47 a.m. when an unknown male entered the room wearing pantyhose over his head as well as a facial mask, a brown jacket, black shirt, black jeans and cleated shoes. He had a firearm in-hand that he waved as the other occupants fled the building.
Loftin said the video had no audio so it is unsure what the robber demanded. The images did show that the intruder then used a passcode to gain entry into the count room. Once inside, he saw money on the table, grabbed it all and exited the building, the detective reported.
“No one was hurt in the incident and this crime is still under investigation,” he said. “Anyone with information that might assist is encouraged to call the department at 628-3511.”
