UPDATE 5 p.m.:
Cape Coral Police said this is not the first time this gas station has been robbed.
Fox 4's Bella Line spoke with a Cape Coral Public Affairs Officer about the robbery:
Exactly one month ago, December 12, 2025, Cape Coral Police said another man robbed the same 7-Eleven at Andalusia Boulevard and Diplomat Parkway.
“I haven't been made aware of any connection other than the fact that it's the same business that was hit twice," said Lisa Greenberg, public affairs officer of the Cape Coral Police Department.
Police have not arrested the suspect, but they are asking for the public's help in identifying the men.
“Whatever information you may have, even if you think it's something insignificant, but you were there at this time and you saw something, please call us and let us know," said Greenberg.
She also encourages businesses to be prepared just in case you fall victim to a crime like this.
“We just encourage people who are business owners to have the safeguards in place make sure they have good, clear surveillance cameras that are pointed in the areas of the cash register," said Greenberg.
If you live nearby, they ask you check your home surveillance videos as well and if you have any information on the suspects from either case, please call the Cape Coral Police Department at 239-574-3223.
