NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - Two good Samaritans came to the rescue of an elderly man who was falling prey to a robber in the parking lot of a North Fort Myers Winn Dixie.
Chris Yeary and Lee Estes were driving home from work when they saw the suspect punching an 87-year-old man; the suspect then stole the man's wallet.
The two men pulled into the North Tamiami Trail parking lot and they gave chase, trying to catch the robber. They were successful -- they captured the suspect a few blocks away, near the Wonderland Motel.
