Sheriff says SeaTac Bob’s Burgers takeover-robbery was a ‘hoax’ in attempt to qualify for visa for crime victims

As reported by the Seattle Times, 10 people staged a takeover-style robbery at a SeaTac restaurant last month in an attempt to obtain U visas. “It was all a lie,” said Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht. “Every employee present that evening, every customer, participated in a deliberate hoax.” There was a staged robbery, as the two alleged robbers dressed up in masks, tied up the others and drove off in one of their cars.
