Guest JMT Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Copperfield Robbed at GunpointMagician David Copperfield and two female assistants were robbed at gunpoint on Sunday night, after a performance in West Palm Beach, Florida. At 11:15pm, the illusionist and his assistants, Cathy Daly and Mia Volmut, were walking back to their tour bus when a black car pulled up beside them. According to a statement issued by Copperfield's representative, "At first we thought they were just more people wanting autographs. They told us to give them money and our stuff. At that point we realized that there were guns in our face." His assistants handed over money, plane tickets and other various items. Copperfield turned his pockets inside out to show he had nothing on him - a sleight of hand by the illusionist, who later showed police he was carrying a passport, wallet and cell phone. As the assailants drove away, Copperfield and Daly took down the car's license plate numbers and called the police. Officers quickly arrived on the scene and captured the suspects, who were later positively identified by the victims. Police say four teenagers were arrested, charged with armed robbery and held without bond and all stolen property was recovered. Copperfield's statement added, "I look forward to coming back to Palm Beach in the future, knowing that crime can happen anywhere, but from what I witnessed from the officers that night, we were lucky to be in Palm Beach when it did happen."

Guest LeVeL Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 West Palm is little by little getting like how Miami used to be.I never knew there was such Gang Violence in Palm Beach, I read in the newspapers the other day how Mexican and Central American gangs from California have infiltrated Lake Worth bringing in nothing but Violence and deaths.Very surprising and all this time I thought West Palm was a nice place to raise a family.
