Vickery’s robbed, employee’s pushed into freezer
Vickery’s Bar and Grill on Beaufain Street was robbed at gunpoint shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, Charleston police said.
The robbers put two employees into a walk-in cooler, a police report said.
The employees freed themselves after about 10 minutes and called police, the report said. The amount stolen during the robbery was not released by police.
That report comes from the local paper, and strangely enough, last night’s robbery at Vickery’s is eerily similar to a crime at another Shem Creek restaurant: Shem Creek Bar & Grill was robbed back in January and the employees were locked in the cooler then too!
