PHOENIX – Just after midnight, two men stole a truck and a food trailer in Phoenix while holding the owner at gunpoint.

Fortunately, the truck and trailer were quickly recovered by Phoenix police a few hours later.

The food truck is back up and running on First Friday after the absolutely harrowing ordeal.

Lahotkeria owner Simone Gamez Acosta says she’s grateful to get back to work so quickly, but it’s been a long, stressful morning after she was held at gunpoint and had her truck stolen.

Lahotkeria is a dessert food trailer. They were packing up at an event – minutes away from leaving – when two men approached her around 1 a.m.

“They started saying, ‘Take everything out of your pockets. Give me everything that has value.’ I saw the man had his gun and started pointing it at me,” Acosta said.

It all happened on the morning of October 4 near Indian School Road and 67th Avenue.

The men wore hoodies and had face coverings.

“I thought, ‘Why are you doing this to me? I have children, don’t do this to me.’ He said, ‘I have kids too. Get the (expletive) out of the truck,'” she said.

She was then pulled from her truck and the two men stole it with her food trailer attached to it.

Luckily, her phone was still in the truck, which is how the truck and trailer were found by Phoenix police with the gun inside.

“I’m still in shock. I thought it was my last night and I wouldn’t be able to see my babies again,” she said.

It’s been a long night for her.

She had to identify her car keys, identify the suspects, clean up the damaged trailer and prepare for First Friday.

“I understand times are tough, but we’re struggling too, and that’s why we have a business to run.”

Simone says this company helps her pay for college.
