Atlanta, GALocal News

Surveillance footage has unveiled a bold $250,000 heist at Onyx Gentleman’s Club in Northeast Atlanta, where thieves employed a power saw to break into safes. The club, frequented by stars such as Drake and known for its vibrant nightlife, has become a target for criminals, with a similar break-in occurring in May when suspects created a hole in the roof to access the premises. Despite requests for comments, the club's owners have remained silent on both incidents, raising questions about security measures in place. The recent theft has alarmed local residents and patrons, who are now left wondering about their safety in such popular venues. Authorities hope the newly released video footage will assist in identifying the culprits, although no arrests have been made as of yet.

Onyx's reputation as a bustling hotspot for entertainers underscores the impact of such crimes on the local economy and community. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges of crime in vibrant urban areas. As investigations continue, the club's management may need to reassess their security protocols to prevent future incidents.
