Suspects in sweepstakes cafe robbery identified

FAYETTEVILLE

A warrant was issued Monday for the arrest of 25-year-old Lonnel McRae, of Fayetteville. Warrants were also issued Friday for the arrest of 27-year-old Gregory Burgess, of Fayetteville.

The robbery happened around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday at Little Vegas in the 2800 block of Owen Drive.

Police said two suspects entered the business, displayed handguns, assaulted an employee and a customer, took an undisclosed amount of money from the business, and then stole a vehicle belonging to the customer when they left the scene. That vehicle has since been recovered.

On Friday, authorities released several pictures captured from surveillance video of the suspects.
