After holdup fails, Taco Bell gunman asks for a job
HAVERSTRAW – Police are searching for a man who brandished a gun at the Taco Bell on Route 9W and later asked for a job.
The man entered the fast-food restaurant just after 2 p.m. and pointed a gun at the cashier, demanded money and told the cashier to get on the floor, said Lt. John Hickey of the Haverstraw Police Department.
The man then walked into the manager’s office at the back of the restaurant.
“He requested an application for employment, and the manager said ‘No,’ ” Hickey said.
The manager, who police said didn’t know about the attempted holdup. then asked the man to leave.
The suspect left the premises in an unknown direction.
The suspect did not point a gun at the Taco Bell manager, police Lt. Peter Murphy said.
No money was taken from Taco Bell, police said.
A Taco Bell employee escaped during the holdup and called police from the nearby Wendy’s restaurant.
The suspect is believed to be Hispanic, 19 or 20 years old and between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, police said.
Officers searched the Route 9W corridor, including the woods and near the cemetery. They were assisted by the Clarkstown K-9 unit and the Rockland County helicopter.
“There have been no arrests, but the investigation is continuing,” said Murphy, declining to provide further details.
The manager of Taco Bell, whom police didn’t identify, said by phone yesterday that he didn’t want to discuss Monday’s incident. He did not give his name.
It was the second robbery reported in town during the past 10 days…
Ok, how DUMB do you have to be to hold up a fast food restaurant at gun point, then walk into the manager’s office and ask for a job? You can’t make this stuff up! LOL!
The manager was not exactly bright either. He SHOULD have given the criminal the application then take it and tell the criminal that he will look it over and call him to set up an interview. That way the manager would have had the criminals name, address, phone number and everything else to identify him.
This is a TRUE story. I thought I’d share it with my readers in case you wanted a good laugh.
