Alpharetta Police Investigating P.F. Chang's Armed Robbery

ALPHARETTA, GA — Alpharetta Police are still searching for two unknown men who burglarized P.F. Chang's off North Point Parkway at gunpoint.

Police were called to the restaurant Thursday, Sept. 26 regarding an armed robbery call. While on the way, officers were notified the suspects were leaving southbound on Ga. 400 in a red SUV. Police searched, but could not find a car matching the description, the police report said.

At the restaurant, officers spoke to employees who said between 10:30 p.m. - 10:45 p.m. while they were cleaning and taking the trash out, two unknown black men entered through the back door, the police report said. The employee said the men were dressed in all dark clothing and their faces were covered with only their eyes showing.

The men then confronted the employee with guns, screaming, "get on the ground, where is the money at," the employee said in the report. The employee got on the ground and told them he was a chef and did not have any money.

Other employees were then confronted by the suspects. One employee emptied his pockets and gave the suspects his cellphone and $140 cash. The suspects then asked where the rest of the money was, and he pointed toward the office. He was then led to the office where he handed over the cash box with roughly $2,000 cash inside. The suspects then ran out the back door, the report said.

A third employee was told he would be killed if he didn't give the suspects money, so he gave them his wallet. The suspects then told him to crawl, and if he tried to run "pop pop," so he crawled behind the bar and waited until it was safe to come out.

The manager on duty ran out the back door when he saw the suspects with guns drawn and called 911. He saw the red SUV drive away, and went back inside to check on the employees.
