Armed burglar vandalizes Fort Myers business

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A man who broke into a Fort Myers business last week left behind a series of spray painted messages throughout the building, Lee County authorities said.

Shortly after Tri-Circle Pavers, 2709 Jeffcott Street, closed for the night on March 30, the suspect, carrying both a rifle and handgun, entered the business and wandered through the building before picking up a can of blue spray paint and writing on multiple walls.

Several pallets and cement walls were also tagged with symbols and other wording, authorities said. After the suspect completed his painting, he stole a green 10 speed Schwinn bicycle, with a pink bell, officials said.

Anyone with information on the identity 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.
