Suspect sought in 7-Eleven robbery, Crime Stoppers offers reward

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help in identifying and finding the man who robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store early Thursday.

Just before 2:30 a.m., an unidentified male entered the 7-Eleven store at 15261 Convenience Way, which is at the flyover of Summerlin Road and Gladiolus Drive.

After walking up to the fountain drink area, he went to the register, pulled out a firearm and demanded all the cash from the drawer, Crime Stoppers said in a news release.

In fear for her life, the clerk complied and handed over an undisclosed amount of money placed in a plastic bag. The suspect immediately fled the store on foot in an unknown direction, Crime Stoppers said.

The man was described as a white or Hispanic male, who was wearing a black hoodie and tan pants.  Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts 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 $3,000.  Tips may also be made online at southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
