As many as 10 people faked a violent robbery at a Washington state fast food restaurant in a stunning bid to score special immigration visas for crime victims, authorities revealed.
Cops said they were called to a Bob’s Burgers n’ Teriyaki in the city of SeaTac on Oct. 19 and told that two armed Samoan men had tied up “patrons” at the eatery and sexually assaulted two women, then fled in a truck belonging to one of the victims.
Cops launched a massive manhunt, but things began to unravel when they found the victims’ stories didn’t line up, the Seattle Times reported. Then two of the people involved made a shocking confession — the whole thing was an immigration scam.
“Today, I can confirm to you it was all a lie,” King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht said.
“Every employee present that evening, every customer, participated in a deliberate hoax.”
Johanknecht said the participants in the scheme hoped to land “U-Visas” — which are set aside for some illegal immigrants who are victims of crimes, and can thus dodge deportation if they work with police, according to US Citizen and Immigration Services.
Police believe six “customers,” the eatery’s manager, an employee, and the two alleged robbers were all in on the scam, the Times reported — although they are yet to make any arrests.
Cops said the phony heist was a “tremendous waste of resources” for police, the Times said.
“Not only is false reporting a crime, but in this case concocting a violent takeover crime where the suspects were allegedly armed sets up the potential for some really bad things,” Johanknecht said.
“Our deputies and detectives were looking for that truck,” she said. “What would’ve happened if we were to stop the driver thinking that they were a suspect in a very violent crime?”
Johanknecht said her office is meeting with local prosecutors to determine the next steps in the case.
