Morro Bay Burger King is expected to reopen Tuesday morning at 6:30 after police say a prank call about a fake gas leak apparently prompted employees to smash all the windows.
On Monday, workers were repairing the estimated $35,000 worth of damages. The fast food chain on Quintana Road has been closed since Sunday.
According to police, employees received a call Saturday night from someone pretending to be from the fire department, telling them to ventilate the business. That prompted employees to smash the windows.
The manager on duty even used a car to ram into the building. The owner of the fast food restaurant says that person has since been suspended.
Anyone with information, pictures or video of the incident is encouraged to call the Morro Bay Police Department at (805) 772-6225 or Det. Mark Martin
