At 4:29 a.m. Monday, an armed robbery occurred at Waffle House in Wadesboro, according to a statement from Wadesboro Police Chief Janie Schutz.
Three black males entered the restaurant wearing red bandanas and armed with guns. A fourth suspect stayed behind as wheelman in a tan car, which witnesses said might be a Honda.
