A Scottsdale, Arizona, Shake Shack employee was arrested when he arrived for work Wednesday after robbing his workplace at gunpoint two days earlier.
ABC 15 reported 33-year-old Keondre Simmons allegedly robbed the store at gunpoint on Monday, August 3, 2026. His co-workers told authorities that he allegedly entered the store through a rear door while armed “with a semi-automatic handgun.”
He “allegedly forced one employee into a walk-in cooler at gunpoint, then directed the on-duty manager to open the store safe and hand over approximately $2,800 in cash.”
Simmons is accused of then locking the employees in the cooler, taking and destroying their cellphones, and destroying the business’s landline phone.
Surveillance footage caught Simmons allegedly leaving the scene of the robbery in a green SUV. Two days later, Simmons was arrested when he drove up in a green SUV to begin his work shift.
Simmons allegedly confessed to the location of the handgun that was used during the robbery and it was recovered by police.
