In October police were called to Bob’s Burgers in Seatac. Employees said robbers tied them up and sexually abused customers.

The employees said two men, one armed with a handgun, robbed the restaurant at 20054 International Blvd in SeaTac around 9:15 p.m. The two robbers allegedly stole money, jewelry and other items from the customers.

But it was all a hoax.

Police now say the robbery was an “inside job” by illegal aliens worried they may be deported.

My Northwest.com reported:

The reported Bob’s Burgers robbery and sexual assault that rocked SeaTac was a hoax, multiple law enforcement sources reveal to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. The purported victims claimed two men in masks tied them up on the evening of October 19. The victims said the thieves took jewelry and cash, before sexually assaulting two female customers. This didn’t happen. Instead, it was an “inside job” where the supposed victims thought this crime would prevent them from deportation. “It was over U-Visa applications,” according to the source. Those involved are suspected to be in this country illegally, though this isn’t checked by law enforcement due to sanctuary city, county, and state laws. My sources say everyone involved in the robbery — from the individuals tied up, to the person who made the 911 — knew it was a hoax, though it remains unclear how deep into the subterfuge everyone was clued in.
