Restaurant owner freaks out after staff give customer cocaine stash in takeaway order
A US restaurant owner has been caught on camera scolding her staff after they accidentally gave her cocaine to a customer.
CCTV footage at Broad Street Gyros in Indiana shows the owner placing a white styrofoam cup on the bench in the kitchen on November 21.
The cup was allegedly accidentally given to a customer with her cheese sticks order, KXAN reported.
The surveillance footage then shows a man enter the shop, bypass the counter and starts to count cash near the kitchen entrance.
Owner Carrie Demoff, 50, can be seen becoming upset and police allege it was because she could not locate the drugs.

"The male locates his wallet and begins to count out cash and Demoff (becomes) visibly distraught and irate since she cannot locate the bag, frantically making phone calls," an affidavit states, NWI reported.
The customer who received the cocaine contacted police when she realised what was in the order and officers said it tested positive for the drug.
Officers allege Demoff called the customer and tried to persuade her to bring the cup back to the shop.
Demoff was arrested last week charged with attempted dealing in cocaine and possession.
Broad Street Gyros was closed during the investigation and the owner's licence has been suspended.
