Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is seeking information on two people who allegedly claimed to be employees of Target Corporate and stole over $6,000 from a Target in Fort Myers.

According to Crime Stoppers, two men entered Target at 15880 San Carlos Boulevard on Tuesday and convinced a cashier they worked for Target Corporate.

The duo told the cashier to ring up 12 gift cards valued at $500 each and apparel and toys in cash.

They walked out with over $6,100 in gift cards and other merch without paying.

According to Trish Routte from Crimestoppers, this is not their first time trying this scheme

“We were quickly able to find out that the same two guys at two other Target stores in Southwest Florida tried to do the same thing.”

If you have any information on these men, contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8744. You can also submit tips online or on the P3 Tips mobile app. Remember, you can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward.
