\"\"Southwest Florida\u00a0Crime Stoppers is asking for the public\u2019s help identifying and tracking down three men who robbed an 89 year old Lehigh Acres woman in broad daylight this afternoon, making off with cash and some of the victim\u2019s personal belongings.<\/p>\n

According to detectives, the victim was sitting in the bedroom of her\u00a024th\u00a0Street W.\u00a0home around\u00a02 p.m.\u00a0when three masked men crawled through a partially opened window.\u00a0 One of the suspects spoke to the victim in Spanish, telling her to remain calm, while the other two ransacked the senior citizen\u2019s home.\u00a0 No weapons were displayed during the course of the crime.\u00a0 After collecting an undisclosed amount of cash and property, the men walked out the front door and left in a grey vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese men terrorized a senior citizen in the sanctity and safety of her own home,\u201d said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re hoping that someone may have seen these men in the area this afternoon, or even in days prior, since the robbery took place in the middle of the afternoon.\u00a0 It\u2019s imperative to identify and locate these men so that they cannot put another resident, especially a senior citizen, through this type of trauma again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the men responsible for the home invasion robbery 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":"
