The Point Cook area was closed from 3pm to 5.30pm Monday to Friday last week, and again today, to “restrict vagrancy and antisocial behavior”.
“Measures were taken to protect the safety of our customers and crew, which is our top priority,” a McDonald’s spokesman said.
The dining room has since reopened, but until then the story served as a point of sale only by car.
The spokesman said McDonald’s was monitoring the situation and was working closely with police.
