The robbery happened at the Smokehouse in Berkeley on Thursday night as the restaurant was still open, officials said.
A beloved burger joint in the East Bay was robbed at gunpoint on Thursday night, officials said. The robbery happened at the Smokehouse at 3115 Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley around 10:30 p.m., Jessica Perry, a spokesperson for the Berkeley Police Department, told SFGATE. Perry said no suspects have been located or arrested as of Friday afternoon.
He said the robbery happened in just about 20 seconds. “The first concern that had, essentially, was safety for employees and herself to make sure that just get what they want without any escalation,” Shaghasi said, recalling his mother’s experience. After the men drove away with the register, the store owner called the police, who responded to the armed robbery, Shaghasi said. The restaurant suffered a $3,000 loss, which includes the $500 in cash and the price of the cash register itself.
