Large law enforcement presence at BB&T Bank in Estero - Wink News

Lee County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for a suspect accused of robbing the BB&T Bank at 20280 Grande Oak Shoppes Drive in Estero.

The robbery happened around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

According to Crime Stoppers, a man walked into the bank and gave the teller a check that he wanted to cash.

Just as the money was placed on the counter, the teller realized that the account the check was drawn on was actually closed. At that point, the suspect grabbed the cash and left the bank, fleeing the area in a black Chevy Equinox SUV.

About a dozen marked and unmarked law enforcement vehicles were seen at the bank, which was cordoned off with tape.

The suspect in today’s robbery is also a person of interest in several other similar crimes which have occurred both in Lee County and throughout the state over the last few months, and as recently as two days ago.

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 and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000. Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or on the P3Tips mobile app.
