Maccas Armed Robbers? Where Next?

The manager of a McDonald's restaurant in Melbourne's southeast fears her outlet could be the next target for a gang of robbers who are holding up the fast food stores.

A third McDonald's restaurant, in Cranbourne, was robbed overnight by three men wielding weapons.

In the previous two brazen hold-ups in the area, only two men had carried out the robberies armed with an axe and a machete.

The manager of one store in the area, who wished to remain unidentified, fears her restaurant could be hit next.

"We're doing the best we can but we just hope they catch these guys," she said.

"We could be next tonight, being in the area, I wouldn't be surprised."

The restaurant, which usually stays open until midnight, will be closing much earlier on Wednesday while the bandits remain at large.

"It's scary, thank God until now nobody has been hurt, which is good," she said.

She said she worked for an owner/operator who is holding a staff meeting to discuss security issues.

Just a little curious, where can these scrawny maggot parasites strike next?

They are too stupid too spread out, they have added a 3rd loser into the gang.

Surely, someone can predict their next move and possibly even figure out where they are based.

Any criminal profilers out there? What can we do to help?

My son works at Maccas in Sth. East Suburbse and I don't feel entirely comfortable about it either.

i really wish we were much tougher on crime. life sentence to everyone or even death for law breakers. would be a much nicer place to live.

The 24 hour maccas here only serve by means of the drive thru during late hours...Smart move.

**redxm** · 05-01-2011, 03:29 PM

What sort of society have we become. Kids being terrorised at there first job. Thats a very traumatic thing to go through for anyone, let alone a 16 yr old (as most maccas staff are)
bring back public stoning

One Local Maccas around here wont let you in after a certain time, and while Drivethrough is 24hours, it has about 4" of perspex covering the drive through pick-up window and a tray that they use to slide out food and money in. Aswell as several cameras right on it so no one can so much as get a hand through the window.
Not sure whether its bullet proof but short of a jackhammer you wouldn't be getting through.

It is odd though, as the Police regularly patrol through Maccas.

Pinkbits · 05-01-2011, 03:35 PM

You can be assured that the "embona" taskforce will be staking out a few outlets in the next few days as the pattern looks very similar after only 3 hits. The police probably already know who they are looking for and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

As soon as i heard the helicopter last night i knew the local one had been hit.

ThaFlash · 05-01-2011, 03:39 PM

dark sedan (if i heard right) NSW rego, just heard on the radio to look out for.

Barry_v · 05-01-2011, 03:50 PM

smarter than robbing a servo i guess, best they get out of them is ~$100 cash float and a few ciggies. Maccas would have a bigger cash float that comes with a coke and fries.

the way you girls carry on about 'today's society' you'd think armed robbery was invented last week

It's a bloody outrage is what it is!

yeah just like north korea. awesome place to live.

chrisfpv · 05-01-2011, 04:32 PM

I doubt they'll be hitting another McDonalds after this article. That's ofcourse assuming they have a brain. Which they probably don't cause I mean...c'mon...

4Vman · 05-01-2011, 04:35 PM

Maybe its this bloke..?

Back in the day, before i met my missus and had kids i used to associate with some HARD Blokes, not that im proud of it but growing up in Elizabeth made you hard, that or a victim...
Back then the golden rule was to never pick on people less well equipped than yourself.

Criminals of today have no morals, and by morals i mean they pick on kids and women...yes society has changed, so have the plastic gangsters.

Bring back Choppers law i say...now where did i put that blow torch

So Rape, Murder, Bank Robberies didnt exist until this generation of kids? Up until then it was all one on one epic kung fu battles? Clearly gangs didnt prey on individuals at the largs, or the british or the birkenhead back when they were real pubs. Those victims must have beaten themselves up, and obviously my eyes were playing up.

I grew up in a hard neighbourhood as well, and there were and still are, only two rules, what you are capable of doing, and what you aren't.

Yeah, all of those crimes and places dont really compare to holding up a joint full of kids though does it...

This is so true! Every night in Sydney you see so called "tough" people terrorising McDonalds carparks and throwing garbage everywhere. They do this because they know they will get little oposition from the teenage staff and the families that eat there. If these scumbags are so tough, go to the local bikie bar and carry on the way the do in the bar carpark. It's too easy to terrorise families and teenage staff though.

You cant seriously believe robbing a maccas is worse than rape and murder.

BENT_8 · 05-01-2011, 05:22 PM

Only today i was driving down Bagsters rd (salisbury North for those playing at home) following a line of cars behind a learner driver instructor.
The vehicle directly behind the instructor was right up his .... so the instructor stopped the car and got out to approach the driver.
Now, the instructor was an overweight bloke of atleast 50yrs of age, didnt get aggressive, just made a point of mentioning the fact that he was trying to teach a kid how to drive.
well, the Meth head freak, proberbly late 30's, bounces out of his car and flies the instructor in the middle of the road...what a hero.

Then he realised where he was and who was watching...right out the front of the footy club.
So what did he do when he knew he was punching above his weight...he got back in his car and blew the horn...Plastic Gangster!

4Vman · 05-01-2011, 05:25 PM

I can remember avoiding 7/11's and Foodplus in the 80's because of the gang element that would sit in the car parks at night....
I dont think human nature is any worse now than 25 years ago, the difference is the greater opportunities (such as 24hr maccas) we have now to exploit life and exercise stupidity.....

jamesson1980 · 05-01-2011, 05:26 PM

EDIT: ^^^ haha Food Plus! oh, the 90's were good

If they're dumb enough to continue in such a logical order, there's 2 Macca's on Westerport Highway on the way down towards Frankston, then there's a whole host of stores in that area. But surely these deadbeats are looking at the media and basking in the fear they're causing for Maccas staff. And if they're reading the reports and decide to strike again then they clearly have bigger balls than brains. Even doing the Cranbourne store after the cops are on the case from the first 2 efforts has me stuffed, these guys are clearly desperate. It's like the servo robbery sprees of times past but now they have become just a little harder to get at, leaving the 24hr Maccas with young'ns behind the counter as the next softest target for the drug money

Never said that, just curious as to why you would mention those crimes and places in regards to some weak ..... who wouldnt have the nouse to set up a bank job.
I would take a guess that those crimes in those places may have been commited by adults on adults...unless the Birkenhead was a former kindergarten.

We had our share of rapes and murders...bodies in plastic containers too.

Would have thought that by now if 3 were hit all in the same area, maybe station a few pairs of undercover cops around other maccas places overnight? Might not come that night, but then again they might..

I think you will find there's a difference between a tuff on crime society and a regime That represses the rights of it's people.

ThaFlash · 05-01-2011, 06:13 PM

wow food plus, remember their slurpies? "Slush Puppies" grape flavour hmmm...
