Employees were forced into a bathroom during an armed robbery at Mac’s Breakfast Anytime in Aberdeen shortly before 7:30 p.m. Friday, according to Aberdeen police.
Initial reports over emergency radio communications indicated the caller was locked in a back room. Police later confirmed that employees were forced into a bathroom but were not locked inside.
No injuries were reported. Details about what, if anything, was taken were not immediately available.
The incident comes after a Sept. 19 break-in at the same restaurant, when a manager told authorities the cash register had been stolen. No connection between the two incidents has been confirmed.
