Atlanta Road Waffle House Robbed

It happened just after 11 p.m. Monday.

For the third time in as many weeks, authorities are investigating an armed robbery at a Cobb-area Waffle House.

The latest incident occurred just after 11 p.m. Monday night at the Waffle House at 4458 Atlanta Rd., said Officer Mike Bowman, the spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department.

Two men with silver handguns demanded money from the cash register, then fled the area on foot in an unknown direction after they received an undisclosed amount of money, he said.

Bowman said both men appear to be in their late 20s or mid 30s.

On Feb. 9, two robbers hit the Marietta Waffle House at 3635 Austell Rd. One of the suspects was armed with a black semiautomatic handgun.

Four days later, two men fled the Austell Waffle House at 7350 Six Flags Dr. with an undisclosed amount of cash. One had a rifle.

Investigators have not determined if there is a connection between any of the robberies, Bowman said.
