FORT MYERS, Fla. — Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for help identifying two men who are involved in a casino and arcade robbery that took place in Lee County last week.

SWFL Crime Stoppers says the men went inside a location on San Carlos Boulevard on July 6 called The Vegas Experience, sat down at a machine and did some sort of manipulation to the machine to take out thousands of dollars.

The two men also went to another business on July 7 called Lucky 7 Jackpot on Cleveland Ave. in Fort Myers, but when they arrived, authorities say an armed security guard recognized the men from recent news stories and ordered them to leave the property and believes they were both concealing firearms and intended to rob the business.

Authorities say the two men traveled in a white Nissan to both locations and released new images of the specific vehicle.

If you have any information that may help investigators, you are encouraged to contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
