Two strippers were robbed at gunpoint for $15,000 after leaving a BET Awards after-party in Atlanta, Georgia. The incident occurred shortly after midnight, as the two women were approaching their apartment building.
Security footage shows the women being approached by two masked men, who demanded their belongings at gunpoint. The women complied, and the men fled the scene with their suitcases and bags, containing their hard-earned cash.
One of the victims, who goes by the stage name Ace Notorious, spoke to Law&Crime Network about the incident. She said that she and her friend had just finished working at the after-party and were exhausted. They were looking forward to going home and getting some rest, but their plans were thwarted by the robbery.
“It just felt fake, it felt like a movie,” Notorious said. “I couldn’t believe that this was actually happening to us.”
Notorious said that the robbers were both wearing black masks and hoodies, so she couldn’t get a good look at their faces. She said that they were both armed with guns, and that they were very aggressive.
“They just kept pointing their guns at us and telling us to give them our stuff,” Notorious said. “We didn’t have any choice but to comply.”
Notorious said that she and her friend lost a total of $15,000 in the robbery. She said that this was all of the money that they had made at the after-party, and that they were devastated by the loss.
“We worked so hard that night, and they just took it all away from us,” Notorious said. “It’s not fair.”
Police are still investigating the robbery, and no arrests have been made.
Rumors of an Inside Job
In the wake of the robbery, rumors have circulated online suggesting that it may have been an inside job. Some people have speculated that the robbers may have known that the women were carrying a large amount of cash, and that they may have followed them home from the after-party.
Others have speculated that one of the women may have been involved in setting up the robbery. This is based on the fact that the women were reportedly targeted, and that the robbers were able to approach them without being seen.
Notorious has denied any involvement in the robbery. She said that she and her friend were completely unaware that they were being targeted.
“We didn’t know anything about it,” Notorious said. “We were just trying to go home.”
Impact on the Stripping Community
The robbery has had a significant impact on the stripping community in Atlanta. Many strippers are now worried about being targeted by criminals.
“It’s scary,” said one stripper who works at a club in Atlanta. “I’m always looking over my shoulder now, wondering if someone is following me.”
Another stripper said that she is now more careful about how much cash she carries with her. She said that she tries to avoid carrying large amounts of cash, and that she deposits her earnings as soon as possible.
The robbery has also highlighted the dangers that strippers face on a daily basis. Strippers are often targeted by criminals because they are seen as being vulnerable. They often work late at night, and they often carry large amounts of cash.
“We’re just trying to make a living,” said Notorious. “We don’t deserve to be treated this way.”
What Can Be Done to Protect Strippers?
There are a number of things that can be done to protect strippers from crime. One important step is to increase security at strip clubs. This could involve hiring more security guards, installing security cameras, and implementing other security measures.
Another important step is to educate strippers about their rights and safety. Strippers should be aware of the dangers that they face, and they should know how to protect themselves.
Finally, law enforcement agencies need to take the safety of strippers seriously. Police need to investigate crimes against strippers thoroughly, and they need to bring criminals to justice.
