For the third time in a little over a year, Zaxby’s restaurant in Fayetteville was hit around closing time Monday night by armed robbers. The restaurant was the scene of two other armed robberies since August 2007. Fayetteville Police spokesman Steve Crawshaw said the incident occurred shortly after the restaurant closed at 10 p.m., adding that no one was injured in the incident. Crawshaw said employees described three black males wearing hoods and masks entering the store near closing time. One of the men produced a handgun, possibly a black semi-automatic, said Crawshaw. Employees were held at gunpoint while the robbers took an undisclosed amount of cash from the store manager, Crawshaw said. The restaurant was also robbed on Sept. 20 just after closing. Two men wearing masks, hoodies and gloves and armed with handguns entered the store as an employee was taking trash out of the back door. The men left after being unable to get into the restaurant office. The same Zaxby’s location was also robbed in August 2007. In that incident, a male and female wearing masks entered the store after closing as an employee was taking out the trash. Employees were locked inside the cooler. login to post comments
