FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Two people accused of robbing a Denny’s restaurant using a bottle filled with gasoline have been taken into custody.
On Sunday, January 10th, Tiffany Sierzputowski, 20, walked into the restaurant on East Commercial Boulevard in Oakland Park and asked the cashier if she could break a ten dollar bill. When the cashier opened the register, sheriff’s investigators say her partner in crime, 27-year old Robert Golden, walked up to them holding a squirt bottle of gas and a lighter.
Investigators say Golden threatened to set the cashier on fire if she didn’t hand over money. The cashier handed over about $380 and the pair left.
Investigators say this isn’t the only time they’ve made this threat.
BSO says the pair used a note at a Hallandale Beach Denny’s later that same day that said, “Really sorry Empty the register as quickly and calmly as possible We have GUNS and Gas Bombs.”
In that incident they left empty-handed.
Detectives say surveillance cameras got a good look at the duo at a Dania Beach 7-Eleven on Tuesday.
BSO says they didn’t threaten anyone in the store but the woman did steal about $30 bucks worth of food before climbing into the black car and driving off.
The sheriff’s office said after they released surveillance video of the Denny’s robbery to the media, family members of Sierzputowski and Golden contacted contacted them and identified the pair.
The couple was picked up. During questioning, they reportedly admitted to the robberies, saying they were homeless and have a heroin, crack cocaine and flakka addiction.
