Deputies searching for armed Lehigh Acres robbery suspects

Three Lehigh Acres robbery suspects are on the run. According to the police report, one of the suspects had a clear imprint of a handgun in his shorts while another displaced a short-barrel-style rifle.

The person living at the home that was robbed told deputies the juveniles accused someone at the home of stealing drugs from them, and they told the victim that if he didn’t give them cash, they were going to find the person who lived at the home and shoot him.

Deputies are hoping you recognize the juveniles. They say the one in the middle may go by ‘Kam.’

Wednesday evening, deputies say these kids, armed with weapons, robbed someone over drugs.

“I kept hearing the helicopter going around, but that happens often so I didn’t think nothing of it. But then the step-son came home and said, ‘man what’s going on out there? They got cops everywhere,'” said a neighbor who didn’t want to be identified.

Another neighbor shared a surveillance video saying they believe they captured the same kids walking away from the home after the robbery.

“They looked suspicious to us when we saw those three kids, three individuals, you know, two on the bikes and one walking,” said neighbor Dona R.

Investigators say the juveniles were looking for someone who lives at the home. When they were told that person was at sports practice, the juveniles told the victim that ‘cash would stop the issues’ and that they were going to find him and shoot him.

“I wonder what can be done to be a safer neighborhood. And I mean, it’s very sad because it was quiet for a long period of time,” said Dona R.

The victim at the home told deputies that one of the kids had a clear outline of a handgun in his pocket. Another lifted his shirt and revealed a short-barreled AR-style rifle with a folding stock before the three made threats and demanded cash.

“It’s sad. I think it has a lot to do with the parenting. I don’t think they were parented very well,” said a neighbor who did not want to be identified.

WINK News spoke with a man who lives at the home through their ring doorbell. He said the family doesn’t feel safe staying there, so they are staying somewhere else until this gets resolved.

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers wants to pay you as much as $3,000 in cash if you can tell them who the boys in the pictures are. You can remain anonymous.
