Identity sought for early morning cell phone prowler

By Staff | Sep 17, 2014

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying an unknown man who smashed through the front door of a Lehigh Acres Verizon store, stealing at least two iPhones within a matter of seconds.

Surveillance video captured images of the man using a blunt object to smash through the glass front door of the Verizon Store on Lee Boulevard at 3:08 a.m. on Friday, September 12th. As soon as he gained entry into the store, he immediately grabbed a blue iPhone 5c and a gold iPhone 5s. He then retreated to the back of the business, where he kicked in the store’s business office, and can be seen rummaging around. Since the smashing of the door triggered the store’s alarm, the suspect made a quick exit, walking right out the front door that he just busted open.

Anyone with information on the early morning burglary, or the identity and whereabouts of the suspect, is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.swflcrimestoppers.org or by texting a tip to CRIMES (274637) Keyword: REWARD.
