Bandits hold up Laverton TAB at gunpoint Club Laverton was held up at gunpoint. BRAZEN bandits held punters at a Laverton TAB at gunpoint in a vicious armed robbery. The Club Laverton was held up by masked offenders around 9pm last night. Witnesses said frightened customers were told to get on the floor while the thieves asked staff for cash. A Victoria Police spokesman said three men were believed to be involved in the robbery. One man, who did not want to be named, said his son had a gun held to his head after unwittingly walking into the holdup. The man was too shaken by the incident to speak to the media. Shaken staff at the popular gaming venue also refused to comment on the incident. Club Laverton spokesman Daniel Smith said patrons and staff were unharmed but in shock. "We will be getting a full briefing in the morning on exactly what happened," Mr Smith said. Our staff and customers are our priority at this stage.
