2 Gunmen Rob Popular Restaurant of $20,000
Two armed men forced their way into a popular Mid-City restaurant early Friday, holding employees at gunpoint while emptying a safe and cash registers of about $20,000, said Police Department officials.
No one was hurt during the 4:45 a.m. incident at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles in the 5000 block of West Pico Boulevard.
The robbers fled and remain at large. Roscoe’s employees declined to comment on the incident. The restaurant opened as usual at 8 a.m. on Friday.
The restaurant chain, established in 1975, operates four Los Angeles locations and is known for pan-fried chicken “like grandma used to make” and Southern comfort food.
The eateries are popular with actors, recording stars and politicians.
