Abdul Rasheed allegedly terrorized employees at restaurants all over the Triangle.
Police say the robber would arrive at closing time with a mask on his face and a gun in his hand. He would then rob the store and lock the employees in the freezer.
Police say he robbed at least three restaurants along Highway 15-501 in Durham, and several others in Raleigh and Cary.
Saturday night, police say employees do not need to be afraid when they close up.
Isaac Navarro, a Fuddruckers restaurant manager in Durham, will not forget the fear he felt when an armed robber showed up at his store.
"What I was thinking was, is he going to kill us and leave us in the freezer or what? You really can't think when somebody's pointing a gun in your face," he said.
Rasheed is being held on a million dollar bond. He's has been charged with four counts of armed robbery and 21 counts of kidnapping.
Rasheed is expected to make his first court appearance Monday.
