Robbery Suspects in Police Custody

Last Updated Dec 2011

(Fort Myers, FL: November 30, 2011) - On Thursday, November 30, 2011 at 8:44 p.m. the Fort Myers Police Department responded to an attempted robbery of a person. It happened at 3315 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Upon arrival police learned that two suspects, one of them armed with a gun, demanded money from a male victim. The victim told the suspects he didn’t have anything and the suspects fled the scene. Police setup a perimeter and spotted the suspects in the area of Starnes and B-Street. The suspects ran to a home located at 3467 B-Street. Police detained one of them outside the home. The other went inside the home and failed to come out with commands from police. The FMPD SWAT team and a negotiator responded to the scene to assist. At 10:52 the negotiator was able to convince the second suspect to come out of the home and he was taken into custody without incident. The investigation is ongoing. Suspect names and charges are unavailable at this time.
