Robbery at Gunpoint at Deerfield Dominoes

Posted on 14 October 2021 by JLusk

 
 
Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives are releasing surveillance video of two subjects who robbed Domino’s Pizza employees at gunpoint and fled with cash.
 
The armed robbery happened around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29, at the Domino’s Pizza located at 3380 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach. One subject held the door open and acted as a lookout while the second subject, wearing a red face mask, entered the store, ran behind the counter and demanded cash. The subject inside the store pointed a handgun at the victims and had them open the cash register. 
 
After taking money from the register, the subject demanded more cash. After taking more money, both subjects fled in what detectives believe was a white four-door sedan.
 
The subject, who stood guard at the front door, was wearing a black sweatshirt with the words “The Game Lives On” written on the front. The armed subject who entered the store has a scar on his left elbow.
 
Anyone with information can contact BSO Det. Armando Enrique at 954-321-4233. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org. Anonymous tips that lead to an arrest are eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.

AVOID A SCARY HALLOWEEN WITH THESE SAFETY TIPS

Posted on 05 October 2021 by JLusk

BSO Sheriff Gregory Tony has some tips for parents whose children will be trick o’ treating this year:

Treats, ghouls and spine-chilling fun are just a few reasons why Halloween is one of the most anticipated times of year for kids. Unfortunately, Halloween can also be the most dangerous time of year for children. Nearly 4,000 Halloween-related injuries occur every year, including falling accidents, poisoning, burns and motor accidents. Although the festivities can be fun, we want to remind you of these important safety tips to help prevent real horrors from occurring.
 
Costume Safety:
•  Your child’s costume should allow them to walk easily. If the costume involves a mask, ensure they take it off when crossing the street so the mask does not obstruct their vision.
• Have something reflective, such as a glow stick or reflective tape, attached to their costume.
• Use a flashlight if you’re out during evening hours.
 
When Children Are Trick-Or-Treating:
• Accompany your children or make sure a trusted adult goes with them.
• Instruct older kids to go in one group.
• Trick-or-treat in your neighborhood.
• Always look both ways when crossing the street.
• Utilize the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
• Be alert to parked cars. Double-check the vehicle is not about to be in motion.
• Bring hand sanitizer with you and use it after touching objects or other people.
• Wash hands and inspect all treats before allowing your children to consume them. Throw away any open treats.
 
If Giving Out Treats:
• Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
• Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
• Set up a station with individual bagged treats for kids to take.
 
Motor Safety:
• Enter and exit driveways carefully.
• Turn on your headlights immediately when you get into the car.
•  Avoid any distractions while driving.
•  Slow down, especially in residential areas.
•  Discourage new or inexperienced drivers from driving during Halloween.
•  Watch for children crossing the street, on medians, at intersections and on curbs.
 
Follow these cautionary steps to avoid a setback, and enjoy the fun of Halloween. If you are looking for a safe alternative to traditional trick-or-treating, attend an outdoor Halloween event in a controlled environment with your kids. As a reminder, don’t hesitate to report any suspicious activity. If you see something, say something.
 
Have a safe, enjoyable and happy Halloween!
 
Service Equals Reward
 
Sheriff Gregory Tony

The Wick Theatre Launches Season 8 with Mamma Mia!

Posted on 04 October 2021 by JLusk


The Wick Theatre in Boca Raton opens their 8th season with the smash international hit Mamma Mia!  This sunny, funny mega-musical is infused with joy, nostalgia and the iconic hit songs of Swedish supergroup ABBA.  Broadway stars Jodie Langel and Sean McDermott lead an all-star cast including Meg Frost, Aaron Bower, Britte Steele and more.

“After the past 18 months, I think we all deserve a dose of unbridled fun, and Mamma Mia! is that and more,” Marilynn A. Wick, managing executive producer. “This international phenomenon ran on Broadway for 14 years and has dazzled a global audience of over 65 million. It is the ultimate giddy guilty pleasure that will have you singing and dancing in the aisles.”

Based on the songs of the pop group ABBA, Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus’ Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical written by British playwright Catherine Johnson. The musical unfolds on a Greek island paradise where Sophie, a soon-to-be-bride, longs to discover the identity of her father. Bringing three men from her mother’s past back to the island on the eve of her wedding leads to non-stop laughs and explosive song and dance numbers to ABBA hits including “Super Trouper,” “Dancing Queen,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Thank You for the Music,” “Money, Money, Money,” “The Winner Takes It All” and “SOS.”

The Wick is delighted to welcome back Broadway and National touring stars Jodie Langel (Donna) and Sean McDermott (Sam).  The rest of the all-star cast includes Britte Steele as Rosie, Aaron Bower as Tanya, Robert Koutras as Bill, Doug Chitel as Harry, and Meg Frost as Sophie.
