Shake Shack Employee Allegedly His Robs Own Restaurant
Keondre Simmons was arrested at the Shake Shack near Scottsdale and Greenway Road, according to ABC15 Arizona. The Shake Shack employee was caught when he returned for his shift two days after the armed robbery.
Simmons reportedly robbed two of his co-workers at gunpoint on Monday, August 3, by entering through the delivery door in the back. According to KTAR, he rang the delivery doorbell and pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the co-worker who answered and forced them into the walk-in cooler. Afterward, he allegedly directed the Shake Shack manager to open the restaurant’s safe and give him the cash, which was only $2,800.
Furthermore, he locked both Shake Shake employees in the cooler and made them kneel. Afterward, he took their cellphones and a landline phone, then threw them into a water-filled sink to destroy them.
Simmons’ Co-Worker Recognized Him
Both of Simmons’ co-workers reportedly told the police that the Shake Shack had called out sick the same day. They added that the armed robber’s voice, physical characteristics, and knowledge of the restaurant were consistent with Simmons.
Not only that, the two workers also noted that the robber knew where the gloves and cleaning wipes were kept in the store, and he also knew where the walk-in cooler latch was located.
The Shake Shack employee was arrested in the parking lot wearing his uniform when he returned to work two days after he allegedly robbed the store. Investigators reportedly followed him from his home.
