DETROIT (WXYZ) - Detroit police are on the lookout for multiple men possibly armed with AK-47's.
Police say at least three men with guns went into Tycoon's strip club on 8 Mile and Groesbeck. They reportedly told everyone to get down.
No shots were fired. Not clear if anything was stolen. The men took off.
One thing I did not know before visiting D is that it is one of the most populated muslim areas in the USA. Just based off their weapon of choice, I am guessing they are muslims.

DETROIT (WXYZ) - At least three men armed with guns stormed the Tycoons Gentlemen’s Club on Eight Mile near Groesbeck Thursday night, terrorizing customers and staff.
Police tell Action News the men didn't get away with much, only stealing cash from the front door bouncer.
According to a dancer who works at the club who didn't want her name used there were three to five guys. She told us the situation unfolded quickly - with the guys bursting in sith guns and telling everyone to hit the floor.
A Tycoons customer says he was with his nephew inside when it happened.
"They said get down (expletive) and we got down. I just kept telling myself I didn't want to die," Salam Joka said.
Investigators believe the group may include up to five men in their 20's -- and that they may be responsible for a string of bar and strip club robberies that have gone down in the past few weeks across Detroit.
No one was seriously hurt in Thursday's incident.
I am not surprised. Detroiters and Detroit gangs are increasingly desperate for money or things that can be converted to money. Every cash business is a target. Stores, banks, credit unions, gas stations and cab drivers are routinely hit. SCs are not exempt and a lot of cash flows through those clubs. Today's customer getting an LD could be tomorrow's gang leader. The trouble will really get out of hand when an off duty cop, moonlighting as a stripper, calls for back up and the shooting starts.
DAMN! Now Sam is never gonna want to visit Detroit again!!!
That said, I wonder whether the crew got charged for the mandatory valet and coat check???
[Wouldn't the valets have ample chance to get the license plate and vehicle description...]
Sure the strip clubs might be nice, if you live long enough to even visit them
All righty, just what Detroit needs. Another crime story. Maybe the gunmen went there and got hit by a ROB and decided to get their money back.
This could happen in any club day or night. Not something to joke about. Happened to me twice, once in a bank and once where I worked, a pharmaceutical wholesaler. Below average lying on the floor with a gun pointed at you!
They were probably rehearsing for a rap video.
Don't they know that carrying a gun into a bar isn't permitted in Michigan? Morons. Pay attention.
I still might consider stopping by Tycoon's because that is where runnoft got his great ITC session, remember CTQWERTY posting about it.
Hey, it ain't good anywhere. Noone needs that kind of experience. I'm glad that noone was hurt. I used to be in the restaurant business. Late at night, when I was the only one left, anytime the door opened, I never knew if this was going to be a good thing, a customer, or holdup men. Fortunately, this doesn't happen every day.
"Police say at least three men with guns went into Tycoon’s strip club on 8 Mile and Groesbeck. They reportedly told everyone to get down."
This report is incorrect. What really happened is I went into Tycoon's with my AK-47 and told all the strippers to go down on me.
