Suspects sought after robbery at ATM
January 17, 2018
STATUS: OPEN
Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying two black males who robbed a couple at gunpoint while they were trying to make a cash deposit at a Palm Beach Boulevard ATM.
On Friday, January 5th, around 1 a.m., the victims were attempting to deposit cash at an ATM at the Suncoast Schools Credit Union, located at 14021 Palm Beach Boulevard, when they were approached by two men who were brandishing dark semi-automatic pistols. The male driver stated that one of the suspects walked up to his car door and pointed a gun at him, then grabbed the cash he was about to deposit. After the suspect had the cash in hand, he attempted to withdraw money out of the ATM, however was unsuccessful. The second suspect then tapped the passenger side window with his gun and ordered the female passenger to hand over her purse. In fear for her life, she complied. After having both the cash and purse in hand, the suspects told the victims to remove the key from the car’s ignition and throw it on the ground. The suspects fled on foot northbound towards Palm Beach Boulevard. As soon as the suspects started to run away, the male driver exited the vehicle and drew his Smith and Wesson .380 and started to chase after the suspects, while the female passenger called 9-1-1. One of the suspects fired at least one shot at the victim and he, in turn, returned fire. Neither the suspect nor the victim were injured. The suspects eventually headed westbound on Palm Beach Boulevard and turned right on an unknown street and managed to escape sight. They may possibly have left the area in a blue SUV waiting nearby.
The first suspect is described as a black male, 5’10”, 160 pounds, approximately 25 years old, wearing a red and white long sleeved hooded sweater with his face covered and carrying a silver and black pistol. The second suspect is 5’7”, 130 pounds, roughly 20 years old, wearing a grey long sleeved hooded sweatshirt, carrying a brown and black pistol.
Anyone with information on the identities and whereabouts of the suspects are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Thieves prey on family moving into new home
January 08, 2018
STATUS: OPEN
Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying what appears to be four young men who broke into a newly constructed North Naples home last month.
On December 7th, around 2:30 a.m., four male suspects broke into the home, located at 482 Ridge Drive in Naples. After gaining entry through the front door, the suspects rummaged through the home to steal whatever items they could find. Since the home was newly constructed, and the homeowners were in the early stages of moving in, the suspects didn’t have much to choose from, but did take multiple items from the house. Detectives believe that at least one of the unidentified men was armed with a handgun during the break-in.
Anyone with information on the identities and whereabouts of the suspects, whose images were all caught on camera, is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.

Lee County woman still missing one year later
January 05, 2018
STATUS: OPEN
Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help trying to find a woman who went missing one year ago today.
Keri Ann Cefarelli was last seen on January 5, 2017 in the central Fort Myers area. Family members and friends have been extremely worried about Keri’s whereabouts and safety and have worked with detectives over the last year trying to find her. Cefarelli did have a history of drug use, and there is a possibility that she could be in the area still using narcotics. She is now 41 years old, 5’5” and 120 pounds with brown eyes.
“The last year has been a struggle for Keri’s family in not knowing what happened to her,” said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator. “When someone seemingly falls off the grid, the people who love her are instinctively going to envision every scenario possible. The goal is to find Keri safe and return her to her parents and teenage son.”
Anyone who has seen Cefarelli at any point in the last few months is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app. No information is too small or minor to share.

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying an unknown male who attempted to rob a South Lee County Dollar General store on New Year’s Day.
Around 11 a.m. on Monday, January 1, a light skinned, possibly bi-racial male, entered the Dollar General, located at 18911 S. Tamiami Trail. The clerk immediately felt that the man was suspicious and appeared as if he was checking out the store with the intent of committing a crime. After paying for an item in cash, the man told the clerk to “give me your cash.” The employee ignored the comment, at which point the suspect fled the store on foot in an unknown direction. No cash or property was taken.
The suspect is described as 6’0”, 135 pounds, approximately 25 years old, with a short black goatee, wearing blue jeans, a dark hoodie and large aviator sunglasses at the time.
