Credit: SWFL Crime Stoppers Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is seeking information on two men wanted for a Lehigh Acres 7-Eleven robbery. On Sunday at approximately 3:03 p.m., the men were involved in a robbery at the 7-Eleven at 4325 Lee Blvd. According to Crime Stoppers, the duo entered the store and attempted to use a counterfeit $100 bill. When the cashier discovered that the bill was counterfeit, a physical altercation occurred. One of the men began a verbal confrontation and insisted the cashier return the bill. He grabbed the employee’s arm and wrist, twisting it in another attempt to take the counterfeit bill. The man then ceased his attempts to grab the bill and fled the store. The duo was last seen entering a 2023 Black Dodge Charger bearing a Florida tag of NQYT69. If you recognize these men, contact SWFL Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8477.
