Shrimp Basket Robbed at Gunpoint

Shrimp Basket Robbed at Gunpoint *UPDATE*

I worked many years in the bar and restaurant business, and something like this was always a concern after closing. Disturbing to see the employees all corralled together like that and glad it didn't end with a backroom slaughter. Should never, ever allow yourself to be taken to the backroom or cooler/freezer, though in this case the three BGs got the jump and had the upper hand on the unarmed employees so it didn't appear they had much choice. Fortunate that it didn't end tragically.

Employees at the Shrimp Basket on North Navy Boulevard were robbed at gunpoint by three masked men Saturday night.

We ate at the Shrimp Basket in Bay Minette last night. Kinda makes me rethink only having six rounds (XDs .45).

I do carry an extra mag but with that many bad guys, where does one find the time to change mags?

I got robbed at gunpoint delivering pizza in one of the better neighborhoods in Pensacola 20+ years ago. It ain't any fun at all. The guy and his girlfriend, who drove the car, were caught two days later. He still had a check he took for me made out to the pizza company. They both got nice long jail sentences.

Glad these folks were unharmed.

Gave me the creeps watching that video. I knew the outcome but still halfway thought they might decide to leave no witnesses.
Glad they got lucky.

Give that info to the police and let them check it out.

Splash two...

Two suspects captured and five are still on the loose.

In the surveillance video you see three men now identified as Jevon Scott, Bruce Williams Jr, and Jarvis Lewis entering the Shrimp Basket armed. Scott punches one of the female employees in the face.

You can also see Ivy Shipman. He's an employee of the Shrimp Basket, but investigators say he was in on the crime. They also say he is a member of the West Coast Crips.

Not exactly a clone according to wikipedia, more of an early US made version.. that one on GB seems like a steal if parts are available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_GB

+100000 I've eaten in three different ones in the last year. Sucked every time. They used to be a decent place. There's a new one in Auburn on the main highway close to the university veterinary campus. The locals say it sucks too.

I worked there for 11 years and was a cook at the original one in gulf shores and general manager for the one in foley. Food was great when it was ask one restaurant deal but when the second owner passed and the other partnered with a money hungry guy as himself. They started expanding and lost touch from getting seafood from the local places. My wife was a general manager at the one on navy blvd ( she was a server at the one in foley that's how we met lol) and they had the same thing happen a few years ago. Luckily she was off but they put them all in the cooler then also. I would sit up there armed on nights she closed along with another guy. She's now a server at mcguires for the past 7 years. Much better food lol
