Armed robber hits 2 fast-food restaurants in 1 night

WALTON COUNTY, Ga. — Priscilla Bradford, a worker at Burger King in Loganville, had almost finished her shift when a man walked in with a gun.

"He said this is not a game," Bradford said. "I saw the gun right when he was walking up to me."

Bradford is one of two workers speaking out for the first time after being held at gunpoint by a robber who hit two restaurants in one night.

Bradford told Channel 2's Audrey Washington that the man calmly walked in, took out a gun and demanded cash Sunday around 10 p.m.

Surveillance video showed the gunman jumping the counter and forcing the employee from the back to the register up front.

"She first told him she couldn't do it, a manager had to do it," Bradford said. "He said don't play with me, open up the register."

Bradford says she heard the gun click when the other worker could not open the register fast enough.

Bradford said she was scared.

"Any wrong move that night and I could've been hurt, I could've been dead and not here for my children," Bradford said.

The other employee finally got the register open. The gunman grabbed the cash and took off, but he wasn't done.

Police said the man also robbed a nearby KFC that same night.

"I am shocked, I cant believe this happened in Loganville of all places," Bradford said.

Bradford says she got a good look at the man. Loganville police said the man is about 5’9”, weighs 180 pounds with facial hair and one distinctive feature.

"Something is wrong with one of his eyes, his left eye more than anything," Bradford said.

Bradford told Channel 2's Audrey Washington she thinks the guy scoped out the restaurants well before the robberies. In the meantime, she said she will remain on edge until this guy is off the streets.

"Keep your eyes open and your ears open because you never know," Bradford said.

Police have stepped up their patrols the Burger King and the KFC. Anyone who recognizes the armed robber is urged to call the police.
