Man arrested for climbing into Orlando Wendy's drive-thru window, stealing cash, police say
ORLANDO, Fla. - A man who Orlando police say was caught on camera nearly two months ago climbing through a Wendy's drive-thru window and stealing the cash drawer has been arrested.
Randall T. Atwell is facing a charge of robbery while armed with a firearm and wearing a mask.
"Through collaborative efforts between our Violent Crimes Unit & Crime Scene Investigators, the man who climbed into a drive-thru window & robbed a cash drawer at gunpoint was identified," Orlando police tweeted on Wednesday.
Police say the incident happened on June 18 shortly before 8 a.m. at the fast food restaurant located at 5503 Major Boulevard.
Authorities said Atwell ordered food in the drive-thru line, went to the window, and when the cashier asked for payment, he threatened the employee with a gun and told the cashier to give him the money. The employee ran inside the restaurant as Atwell allegedly climbed through the window and took the cash drawer, police said.
