2nd store robbed in San Carlos Park area; same suspects likely, deputies say

Two suspects in an armed robbery late Friday in San Carlos Park are believed to have committed another robbery late Saturday, according to deputies.

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers said Sunday morning that a man walked into the Family Dollar at 8290 Aloha Road, just after 8:15 p.m. Saturday, and pointed a gun at the employee, ordering her to open the dropbox. When she replied that she didn’t have a key, the suspect locked the front door, demanding her at gunpoint to give him all the cash from the register. After the money was placed into a shopping bag, the man left the store and fled in a vehicle with a second suspect.

The suspect in Saturday night’s robbery was wearing the same grey and white camouflage hoodie as one of the suspects in Friday night’s robbery.

“Detectives strongly believe that both men from Friday’s robbery are responsible for Saturday night’s robbery,” Crime Stoppers said.

Friday’s robbery happened just after 10:30 p.m., when two men walked into the Sky Food Mart at 17597 Rockefeller Circle in San Carlos Park. Both had semi-automatic handguns and demanded money from the register.

One of the suspects reached over the counter into the register and took an unidentified amount of cash. The suspects then fled the store on foot, headed southbound on Rockefeller towards Consitution Circle.

Both suspects are considered armed, black and dangerous.
