On Monday, October 14th, 2024, at approximately 11:34 AM, officers of the Cuba Police Department were dispatched to a report of an armed robbery at the Seneca Oil Springs Casino near Cuba Lake. Although it turned out not to be an armed robbery, it was still a dangerous situation. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly commend our staff and the security staff for their bravery in responding to the incident. Our officers arrived at the scene within 3 minutes of the original dispatch, demonstrating their preparedness for such situations. Thankfully, these kinds of incidents are rare, but when they do occur, our staff responds without hesitation. I am confident that if another similar situation arises, our staff will once again respond swiftly and competently. I am proud of our department, and our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families and the employees who witnessed the incident.
