ALBUQUERQUE (UPI) -- A pair of New Mexico fast food workers were
hoodwinked by a prank caller into stripping to their underwear and
breaking the restaurant's windows, sources said.
The sources told KOAT-TV, Albuquerque, that the two male What-A-Burger
employees received a phone call Monday night at the restaurant from
someone claiming to be a representative of the fast food chain's
corporate office.
The caller told the men to test the fire suppression system and warned
them to shed their clothes after they were covered by the yellow
powder released by the system. The caller then told the men to break
the restaurant's windows for ventilation, the source said.
Some witnesses dialed 911 while the men used rocks to smash the
windows.
"He was actually talking to somebody on the phone and he looked like
he was nervous. He said, 'OK, hold on' and he threw the first rock,"
one 911 caller said.
What-A-Burger manager told police $10,000 worth of damage was done to
the store.
"This situation is completely unacceptable," the vice president of
What-A-Burger said in a statement Tuesday. "What-A-Burger is working
with the Albuquerque Police Department to identify the individuals
responsible for these actions and will pursue full compensation for
damages."
