Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying an armed duo who held up a Subway store in Lehigh Acres at gunpoint.

Just before 6 p.m. June 1, two masked black men ran into the Subway, at 4316 Lee Blvd., demanding cash while displaying firearms. One suspect ran toward the back of the business, carrying a small silver handgun, while the second suspect jumped over the counter, pointing a black handgun at the cashier.

While holding the employee at gunpoint, the men demanded all the cash from the store’s register. In fear for her life and those of the customers present, the cashier complied and men quickly left.

The first suspect is described as between 20 and 30 years old, tall with a thin to average build and having long dreads, with one possibly dyed blonde. He was wearing a black shirt, which he used to cover his face and nose, as well as a wide-brimmed hat.

The second suspect is also between 20 and 30 years old, tall and possibly with dread-styled hair. He was wearing a Halloween skeleton face mask and carrying a silver handgun.

“This was clearly a very bold and brazen robbery,” Trish Routte, Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers coordinator, said. “They committed this violent act during a busy time of day and on a major roadway which was heavily travelled at that time.”

“We are hoping to hear from anyone who was in the area around that time who may have seen something suspicious, or who came across any information or conversations about the men involved,” she added.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 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.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
