Indian man is accused of stealing $3,500 from Burger King in Florida, where he worked as a manager.

Chris Kumar, an Indian man who worked at a Burger King outlet in Florida, was dubbed the ‘Burger King Bandit’ after law enforcement found that he was behind the sudden disappearance of dollars from the restaurant’s safe. According to reports, Kumar used to be the manager of the outlet but was fired from the job due to missing several shifts. Kumar had the key and security code to the safe and after $3,500 was stolen from the outlet, he was one of the suspects because he lost his job at the same time. The new manager of the outlet told police that someone had entered the business office and opened the safe using a code. Kumar was the only other person who knew the combination. Investigators learned that Kumar had gone to Home Depot before being fired from his job to make a copy of the restaurant’s keys. Although he returned his official building keys and his uniform after being fired, the duplicate key gained him entry and he already knew the code, which had not been changed. The theft occurred in mid-November 2025. Earlier this month, a judge signed an arrest warrant for Kumar and Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey gave him the nickname the Burger King Bandit.
