\"\"Crime Stoppers is asking for the public\u2019s help identifying two masked men who held up a Lehigh Acres convenience store at gunpoint in October, taking off with pockets full of cash.<\/p>\n

Shortly before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29th, two armed men barreled through the front door of GG\u2019s Grocery, located at\u00a0322 Gunnery Road.\u00a0 One man, carrying a handgun, immediately walked behind the counter, and held the weapon to the clerks head, demanding that she empty the register of all its cash.\u00a0 A second male followed close behind, pointing a rifle at a customer, while seemingly standing guard near the front door.\u00a0 At one point, a delivery man tried to enter the store, however the rifle-toting robber told him to leave.\u00a0 Both men donned all black clothing, and pulled off the robbery in less than two minutes time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of these men exhibited an extremely dangerous demeanor, and perpetrated the crime with great confidence,\u201d said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator.\u00a0 \u201cWe strongly believe these men have committed similar crimes in the past, and may still be doing so today.\u00a0 Until they\u2019re caught, there\u2019s no telling where or when they may strike again.\u00a0 Sometimes people are afraid to come forward and talk right after the crime, but in this instance, some time has passed, and we hope that anyone in the know will feel more comfortable coming forward and providing any information they have to Crime Stoppers and law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the two suspects are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).\u00a0 All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.\u00a0 Tips may also be made online at\u00a0www.swflcrimestoppers.org<\/a>\u00a0or by texting a tip to CRIMES (274637) Keyword: REWARD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
