Robbers smash-and-grab their way to two jackpots
Ventress is a small and not very remarkable community in Louisiana. It sits in Pointe Coupee Parish. Pass down Main Street to False River Drive and you’ve missed it. Except there’s been a crime. Nothing too heavy. No gore, no violence. Just two men who stole two video poker machines. There’s never been a crime wave in this small town but there were surveillance cameras saw the whole thing. They’ve pulled poker machines with their heavy truck. For those of you who don’t know Ventress, that’s right next to the levee on the corner. Now these two climb out wearing masks - shows foresight and planning. The smaller of the two has a gimpy leg but that’s not going to hold him back. The big guy (local CSI have him wearing a size 13 boot which matches his impressive build) smashes through the glass frontage like it was a movie set fake.
Now that’s impressive. Each video poker machine comes in at a slimline 300 pounds but these two heroes exit their truck and drive away with the two machines in the back in 33 seconds. A bit of cheating there, but they made a few thousand dollars for their efforts. So if you meet a small guy with biceps to die for and a limp in a bar down in Louisiana, he’s buying the next round.
