BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. -- Investigators say two armed men used pepper spray to steal cash from a Bonita Springs 7-Eleven store early Thursday morning.
It happened at the store on Bonita Beach Road SE, just east of Interstate 75, around 4 a.m.

The suspects are both approximately 5’7”, 175 pounds and are in their mid to late 20s.
