Phoenix Police Investigate Armed Robbery at West Phoenix Little Caesars Restaurant

Phoenix police detectives are seeking the public's help to identify an armed suspect who targeted a Little Caesars pizza establishment in west Phoenix.

The first reported incident occurred on June 28, 2025, when a male suspect entered the restaurant, brandished a firearm at the cashier, and demanded money from the cash register. The employee complied, and the suspect fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police released surveillance images of the suspect, describing him as a male wearing dark clothing and a face covering.

A subsequent armed robbery at a Little Caesars location in the same west Phoenix sector was reported on January 31, 2026. Investigators are currently analyzing security footage and witness descriptions from both incidents to determine if they are connected to the same individual or group. Armed robberies of retail food businesses place employees and nearby customers at extreme risk, prompting local law enforcement to step up patrols around commercial plazas in the west Phoenix area.

Authorities urge anyone who can identify the suspect or who has information about the vehicle or route taken during the escape to contact the Phoenix Police Department or submit an anonymous tip through Silent Witness. Informants may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest.
