An officer went to the front gate/entrance where he was met by staff and security guards. None of them could give the officer a number of people that were inside or at the establishment. Police were directed to the owner in the back of the business, towards the back door. The owner provided police a number of approximately 120 guests inside the establishment. Police observed that the owner was not stationary at the front entrance while other staff and security guards were allowing people to enter, therefore leaving the number in attendance in question.
