Published: Updated:

A Fort Myers man has been arrested for allegedly committing armed robberies at a Lee County 7-Eleven and RaceTrac gas station.

Kevoun Najae Watts, 21, is suspected of robbing the stores one right after the other on Wednesday.

As of now, we know that one of the RaceTracs was on Lee Boulevard and Alvin Avenue in Lehigh Acres.

An employee working during the robbery told police that Watts entered the store and demanded money. After she handed Watts $200 from the cash register, he fled in a black 4-door sedan.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office tracked him down using license plate readers and booked him early Thursday morning.

He was booked at the Lee County jail just after 2 a.m. Thursday and remains behind bars.
