Prank caller leads Coon Rapids Burger King employees to smash their windows
I thought people would know better by now. Guess not though.
To the frantic manager of a Coon Rapids Burger King Friday night, the choice was to act fast or face disaster.
A caller who said he was a fire department official said there was a gas leak in the building and that unless the windows were smashed, a gas buildup in the building would cause an explosion. So the manager and Burger King employees evacuated the restaurant and started smashing ground floor windows. Every single one.
Problem was, it was a hoax. The caller was no firefighter. There was no gas.
On Saturday morning, all the windows were boarded up at the Burger King at 2025 Northdale Blvd.
