It happened around 3:45 am at Palm Island on the northern highway after the Independence day partying was finished. Owner of the nightclub John Paul Curly was escorting three customers out when he saw four masked men armed with guns and knives who ordered them back inside the building. The robbers snatched the men's personal items including cell phones, cash and jewelry. They also grabbed liquor from the bar. But they wanted the big money and demanded that Curly tell them where his safe is.
