It's a hold up!

Houstonians who were enjoying a weeknight out at Kalyrumba nightclub last night got a surprise adrenaline rush in the form of a real-life hold up. Five men walked into the club around 1 a.m. with knives and guns, ordering everyone to the ground. They took off with wallets and cash from the register, and left without causing anyone any physical harm.

One of the suspects, who was hiding behind the club, was apprehended (via helicopter search) shortly after the robbery, but the others are still on the run. Police believe the same men might be responsible for other hold-ups in the area.
