Nightclub DJ robbed, attacked by six suspects

Police are looking for 6 suspects after a nightclub DJ was robbed at gunpoint and pisol-whipped after finishing a job in Brampton early Sunday.

The accident happened in the parking lot of the Border Line nightclub on Automatic Rd. around 4:30am when the 6 men, three armed with handguns, jumpted the victim as he walked to his car.

The thieves stole a gold chain, cellphone, cash and hard drive from the victim before fleeing in vehicles.

The victim received large cuts and swelling around both eyes, but was not treated in hospital.

How much are you carrying to and from gigs?

Gold Chain = Hip Hop Club!

But yeah any DJ is at risk as long as they have something valuable, such as a laptop, or other equipment.....

Dont think theives would get much from a guy who is only carrying CDs and a pair of headphones though

2 violent crimes after a hip hop gig, in the same week within a 40 km radius...

Must be all the elitist EDM kids doing it to set up the hip hop scene to look violent

imagine if this was like 10 years back where everything was vinyl :P Those thieves would have a hard time running away with crates.

then the thieves are more likely to beat the living christ out of you so you they can walk away calmly from the scene. but with the crates it makes it harder for the dj to evade the thieves...
