News Media: ‘Donut Desperado’ Dances While Live Streaming Donut Theft At Dunkin
SOUTH BRUNSWICK TWP., New Jersey police are trying to find a man whom they dub the “Donut Desperado.” He was seen on surveillance camera dancing and making merry on the counter while he was live streaming on his phone at a Dunkin Donuts. The suspect is seen rocking a red hoodie during the ordeal on Saturday, June 1.
One customer said, “What? At my Dunkin Donuts? Not at my Dunkin Donuts!”
The police released the surveillance video on Tuesday night showing the dancing, live streaming suspect. It’s understood this isn’t the first time the suspect has struck. On May 15, police say he did something similar at Cheng’s Garden restaurant.
According to Mike Liu, the manager at Cheng’s Garden, it was around lunchtime when the suspect came in, wearing the same red hoodie, live streaming on his phone.
“The guy was running into the restaurant,” Liu said. “He was holding his phone shooting himself.” He said, ‘Oh you gave me bad fortune. You gave me a bad fortune.'”
Liu said he then ran through the kitchen, took a soda, left two dollars, and ran out.
He says even if it was a joke, it was unnerving.
“I was nervous,” he said. “My wife told me to call the cops and I did.”
Dunkin Donuts released this statement Wednesday afternoon:
“We are aware of the matter that took place at the Dunkin’ restaurant located in Monmouth Junction, NJ. The franchisee who owns and operates this location informs us that the safety and well-being of his crew members and customers are top priorities and he is cooperating fully with the police investigating this incident. As this is an ongoing investigation, we defer any additional questions to the local authorities.”
