Yet More Bingo Hall Break Ins

Parkfields Leisure Club in Wolverhampton has been hosting popular bingo games for elderly locals for over 16 years and in that time they've had a staggering 81 burglaries with the worst spate still in process. The club has been broken into four times in less than a week and the recent raid saw thieves make away with audio and amp equipment as well as beer and spirits from the bar.

Obviously, all the players that enjoy a weekly session of bingo at the community hall are especially disappointed because the club is becoming increasingly likely to close. Every break in costs more money and the current manager, 55 year old Paul Hickman has had about as much as he's willing to before giving it up as a bad job.

Bingo has always been a popular part in local culture and even though offline bingo was once seen as a pastime reserved solely for the elderly that's no longer the case with more and more younger people of both sexes playing regularly at online bingo sites. With that said, however, the popularity of bingo halls and clubs on the high street has been dwindling.
