Encore Cinemas robbed

On Sunday morning, Encore Cinemas' Oakville location was robbed.

"We are working with police to identify and apprehend those responsible," said Jeff Knoll, CEO of Film.Ca and Ward 5 Councillor. "We have complete confidence in the abilities of Halton Regional Police to bring their investigation to a successful conclusion."

At the time of the robbery, no one was in the theatre and no one was injured. Normal operations began again on Sunday afternoon.

"I'd like to thank our staff for working through this upsetting incident and our suppliers for their assistance in continuing our operations," said Knoll. "Most of all, I'd like to thank our guests for standing by us through this difficult time and continuing to enjoy big movies at small prices with Encore Cinemas."

Internet ticketing and film.ca email addresses will be unavailable until Encore Cinemas is able to secure replacement equipment.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police at 905-825-4777 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
