Nightclub in Coalville robbed of New Years Eve takings
Detectives are appealing for information after a robbery at Emporium nightclub in Coalville.
The incident happened at around 7.15am on New Years Day (Friday January 1, 2010) once the club on Belvoir Road had closed.
The owner and a member of staff were cashing up in the office whilst another member of staff was loading equipment into a car parked at the back of the club.
Four men claiming to be police officers dressed with fluorescent jackets approached the member of staff and asked to come inside and see the owner.
Once inside the club, they made their way to the office where they assaulted the owner and the other member of staff before tying them up.

One of the men is described as being of Asian appearance, of stocky build and around 510 tall.
