Crime Stoppers increases reward to catch Pinchers burglar
Pinchers at the Wyndham Garden Resort, located at 6890 Estero Boulevard, was robbed over the weekend.
Managers noticed something amiss July 2 as they prepared to open the restaurant for business. A door was left partially open, and the manager’s office door had been pried poem. A surveillance video shows a suspect picking the lock, then picking the lock to the large steel safe within and escaping with a bag filled with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to a press release from Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
The suspect is believed to be around 5′ 8′ and 5′ 10′, 225 pounds, and wore a mask and a Florida Gators sweatshirt during the theft.
Crime Stoppers has increased the reward to $3,000 for those who call in with an eligible tip – and on top of that, an anonymous donor has added another $2,000 to give to a tipster who helps catch the burglar.
Anyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous. Tips may also be made online atwww.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
