Shortly after 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25th, an unknown black male approached a residence on\u00a012th\u00a0Street SW\u00a0in Lehigh Acres, inquiring about the whereabouts of an individual.\u00a0 Upon learning that he wasn\u2019t there, the male left, but returned several minutes later with a second black male, who proceeded to kick through the front door.\u00a0 Both men forced their way into the home, and ordered the victim at gunpoint to face the wall, while they ransacked the house.\u00a0\u00a0 One suspect was armed with two black handguns, one of which had an extended magazine.\u00a0 The men demanded cash, and managed to get away with two cell phones and the keys to the victim\u2019s car. \u00a0They quickly left the home in a dark colored Nissan Altima, between the model years of 2002-2006.\u00a0 The getaway car had 22 inch chrome custom rims, and a Hello Kitty license plate frame on the rear of the car.<\/p>\n
One suspect is described as 5\u20196\u201d, 140 pounds, and the second is believed to be 5\u201910\u201d, 150 pounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hopeful that some of the unusual features of the car utilized in this violent crime will help lead investigators to the men behind the crime,\u201d said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator.\u00a0 \u201cThese men both showed their propensity for violence and until they\u2019re identified and apprehended, there is always a chance that they could attack again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone with information on the mid-day robbery, or who may have seen the suspect\u2019s vehicle, is 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":" Southwest Florida\u00a0Crime Stoppers is asking for the public\u2019s help in finding a vehicle which is linked to a violent home invasion robbery in Lehigh Acres last Tuesday.
