The alleged “Cookie Bandit,” accused in nine armed robberies in Awahtukee and Tempe, has been arrested, police said Thursday.
Henry Diaz Jr., 28, was taken into custody by Phoenix police.
Diaz is accused of entering sandwich shops and restaurants in the area of 48 Street and Ray Road, displaying a sawed-off shotgun and demanding money. The most recent robbery took place at a Papa John’s on Monday night.
The suspect got the “Cookie Bandit” nickname because he asked employees at a Subway if they had any cookies.
Authorities from Phoenix and Tempe will be discussing the arrest during a press conference at noon.

Let me guess…. he’s an illegal alien.
Just wondering if there are any new leads on “the Hamburgler”
Its nice to see a police agency going after DANGEROUS criminals instead of illegal janitors.
I wonder if the Phoenix PD had to use 60 officers to arrest this guy
yes hes from UK illegally.
To Lisa,
Your response “Let me guess..he’s an illegal alien.” Could be but maybe not..not everyone who has a Hispanic last name is illegal. However what is fact is that he likes cookies.
Stop spreading hatred and do something charitable lady.
