Shake Shack Worker Allegedly Robbed His Own Restaurant at Gunpoint, Then Returned to Work Days Later

Investigators say surveillance video and cellphone records tied Keondre Simmons to the robbery, and police recovered money consistent with the stolen cash.

  • On Wednesday, Aug 5, police arrested 33-year-old Keondre Simmons in the parking lot of the Scottsdale Road Shake Shack, where he is accused of robbing two coworkers at gunpoint two days earlier.
  • After calling out sick on Aug 3, Simmons allegedly returned to the restaurant, forced an employee into a walk-in cooler at gunpoint, and stole approximately $2,800 in cash from the office safe.
  • Employees told police the suspect's "build, hairline, voice and mannerisms" matched Simmons, noting he demonstrated specific knowledge of the store's layout and the walk-in cooler's latch.
  • Simmons faces charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault, and kidnapping; the Maricpa County Superior Court set his bond at $100,000 following arrest.
  • A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug 13, as investigators recovered a firearm and clothing worn during the incident from Simmons' residence.
