Masked Gunmen Rob McDonald's Branch in Amchit

W460

Masked gunmen on Thursday robbed a McDonald's branch at gunpoint in the town of Amchit in the Jbeil district, state-run National News Agency reported.

The armed men smashed open the restaurant's safe and fled away with 22 million Lebanese pounds, NNA said.

They also took with them the restaurant's digital video recorder (DVR) to prevent security forces from making use of the CCTV footage.

Security forces have since arrived at the scene and launched investigations, the agency added.

Definately an inside job, they ran away with the digital video recorder also. They knew exactly what and where. Better check current and former employees and their network.

Good job by our security forces, now get ready for the chorus of "moderate m8 iranians" whining about shia being persecuted and what not.
