The small grocery store was robbed Friday night. The manager says he’s lost his sense of security after the robbery.

In the surveillance video, a masked man wielding a gun breaks into the back of Monterrey Grocery Store, then hops the counter to the check cashing center inside.

It’s just the most recent example of the rash of armed robberies across Lee County over the past three weeks.

SWFL CrimeStoppers believe at least 8 of the 11 robberies are related.

CrimeStoppers say that detectives are still working around the clock to identify these thieves, and prove a connection between the crimes.

If you have any information that you think could help, you’re asked to call police right away.
