Three McDonald’s employees in Atlanta were held at gunpoint and forced inside a freezer during a robbery.

According to a police report, the robber broke into the restaurant on the 3500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard about 2:30 a.m. Feb 10, jumped over the counter and chased two men into a freezer at gunpoint.

One victim told police she was at the front of the store when she heard booms from the south side doors.

The robber then demanded that she “put the money in the bags,” police said. He then jumped behind the counter and chased two employees inside a freezer.

The man then went near the drive-thru part of the restaurant and took $300 from the female cashier, according to the police report.

Police are still looking for the suspect, believed to be 6-foot-1 and between 175 and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing all black and with a red bandanna over his face.
