Two men allegedly pulled off a daring robbery that netted $40,000 in jewelry in, of all places, a Waffle House in Atlanta.
Three men from Philadelphia were eating breakfast just before 6:30 a.m. at the 24-hour restaurant when they were approached by a duo carrying semi-automatic handguns, according to Yahoo. The men were robbed of jewelry and electronics.
The Atlanta robbery is the latest in a string of similar holdups at Waffle House restaurants throughout the South in recent weeks. Police said they didn’t know whether they were connected.
Last week a man carrying a semiautomatic weapon allegedly robbed an Orange County, Fla., Waffle House, making off with $300 from the register, according to police. He has not yet been apprehended but is believed to have hit more than three other restaurants in the area.
In July, off-duty police officers apprehended a man dining at a Waffle House in Atlanta after he allegedly tried to hold up the cashier.
