Pranksters hijack Taco Bell's drive-through signal

[February 13, 2009]  SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) -- Police are looking for pranksters who hijacked a Taco Bell's drive-through radio signal and used it to shout vulgarities to customers.

The suspects posed as Taco Bell employees in the Tuesday afternoon episode, which lasted a few minutes.

Police said even though the intruders meant it as a joke, they could face charges. Taco Bell employees said they would press charges if the pranksters are caught.

Sgt. Matt Wirt said the suspects "would have to be in relatively close proximity to" the business to interfere with the drive-through frequency.
