Fake Waffle House worker steals from register at end of her ‘shift,’ Georgia police say
A woman is accused of posing as a Waffle House employee before stealing cash from the register, Georgia authorities say.
Now police need help finding her.
Officers arrived just after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 13, on a report of a theft that occurred the night before at the restaurant in Riverdale, according to a police report obtained by McClatchy News.
A manager told police that a woman wearing a Waffle House uniform showed up around 7 p.m. and said she would be working the evening shift. The “employee” worked for two hours before taking $130 from the cash register and leaving, the manager told police.
Management didn’t realize the money was missing until the next morning.
On Dec. 19, police released a surveillance photo of the fake worker in hopes that someone might recognize her.
The manager told police it’s possible the woman worked at another Waffle House location where a similar theft occurred.
The woman remained on the run as of Thursday, Dec. 21.
Riverdale is about 10 miles south of downtown Atlanta.
