COON RAPIDS, Minn. -- Police say employees at a Coon Rapids Burger King smashed the restaurant's windows following a prank call.
The incident happened Friday evening at the Burger King on the 2000 block of Northdale Boulevard.
Authorities say someone claiming to be from the Coon Rapids Fire Department called the restaurant and said the building was pressurized and would explode unless employees broke the windows to relieve the pressure.
Police say employees broke several of the restaurant's windows. One employee suffered a minor cut while breaking the windows. No other injuries were reported.
Police say similar pranks have taken place in Oklahoma and California.
The Coon Rapids Police and Fire Department say they would never call a residence or business to ask them to take action of any kind. They say if you do receive such a call, consider it a prank and call 911 immediately.
The Coon Rapids Police and Fire Departments are investigating the incident.
