“On July 30, 2018, at 5:45 p.m., a man with a firearm took an undisclosed amount of money at our location before running away.

The incident happened very quickly with only staff knowing, and none of our staff or patrons were physically involved. 
 
We keep minimal cash on hand and have a significant number of cameras on site. Like many businesses we have been a target in the past, and have significant security processes in place to reduce any opportunities. We have reviewed our safety procedures to increase protection for our staff and patrons. 

Please support us and others impacted by crime. We cannot allow criminals to take our living away from us, and appreciate the support from our customers and the RCMP as we recover from this incident.” – Jackpot Grill
