Two employees of the KFC at Ga. 92 and Bells Ferry Road were arrested Monday after allegedly stealing money from the fast food restaurant and concorting a false story of an armed robbery, according to Sgt. Jay Baker, spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.

Chaney claimed the men she described fled in a tan pickup, Baker said.

Sheriff's Office detectives started an investigation after deputies responded to the reported August 25 armed robbery and arrested the two employees less than six hours later, Baker said.
