UPDATE 5 p.m.:
Cape Coral Police have left the scene and the yellow tape was picked up. There is now a sign on the front door of Tio Jeweler saying they are closed until further notice.
Take a look at the scene:
Fox 4’s Bella Line spoke with a woman who works at a nail salon a couple doors down. She said she was shocked to find the scene when she arrived at work Tuesday morning.
“Everything was blocked off by the AutoZone so it's just everywhere was blocked off. It was just really weird,” said Melissa Mendez, Diamond Spa and Nails employee.
Mendez said she has gone inside of the jewelry store before.
“They do have, like, a double door. They have, they always have security in there, and then it's like in broad daylight, so it's like, why would someone do that?” exclaimed Mendez.
Cape Coral Police have not said if they have someone in custody. Fox 4 will keep you up to date.
UPDATE 12:25 p.m.:
A Tio Jewelers employee told Cape Coral Community Correspondent Bella Line that multiple people came in with guns and robbed the store.

We are waiting for more information from police about what happened. We will bring you that information once it's released.
