She wore a Waffle House cap and pretended to work at the 24-hour breakfast eatery. But the woman wasn’t really an employee of the Riverdale restaurant, according to police.
After “working” for two hours, the woman helped herself to cash from the register, police said. Now, investigators are scrambling to find out the woman’s identity.
“She came in dressed as an employee and spent about two hours there,” Riverdale police Chief Todd Spivey told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “She went in as if she worked there.”
While investigators believe she may have previously worked at a different Waffle House, the woman was not employed at the one she’s accused of robbing.
On Dec. 12 at about 7 p.m., the woman began working at the Waffle House in the 6500 block of Ga. 85. A store video camera later caught her opening the cash register and stealing an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.
No further details about the incident were released. A spokesperson for Waffle House said the company is cooperating with law enforcement during the investigation, but declined further comment.
Anyone with information on the woman or the theft is asked to contact Riverdale police at 770-996-3382.
