A man supposedly in his 20s in now in Police custody following an act of vandalism committed on the Popeyes fast food outlet on Camp Street, Georgetown on Wednesday at about 18:45h.

Staff at the facility claim that a well-dressed man ‘pretending’ to be talking on the phone walked into the fast food restaurant, then jumped on the counter and kicked over three juicers before stripping himself completely naked and continue his vandalisation of the premises.

“After he kicked down the juice machines, he pull down the whole tray of chicken and then cuff up the monitors. Then he go to the cash register and pull out the cable. He then stripped naked and pull down the metal shelves,” a staff who was on duty at the time told this media house.

During the ordeal, the other staffers reportedly ran into the back of the kitchen and hid in the “chiller”, while four customers who were dining at the time left their meals and “ran out the door.”

The security guard, who was then outside of the fast food outlet, reportedly whipped out his phone and contacted the police. However, by the time they responded, the man had left the outlet, still naked. Ranks reportedly caught up with him a short distance from Popeyes.

The man’s actions apparently stemmed from the Popeyes’ staff refusing to charge his mobile phone when he visited the place on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, after closing early on Wednesday evening, the popular fast food outlet was up and running yesterday (Thursday). Nothing was reported stolen, and the cost for the damages incurred was not disclosed.

Investigations are, however, ongoing
