A suspect is in custody thanks to several tips from the community.

Brandon Francisque, 24, is accused of hiding inside a man's car and then robbing him at gunpoint, in Lehigh Acres.

It happened back in December at a 7-Eleven.

Deputies said when the victim went into his car a man was sitting in the back with a gun and demanded money and a cell phone.

The victim didn't have cash, so the suspect forced him to drive to a bank.

Then he ordered the victim to drop him off.

Francisque is charged with robbery with a firearm, false imprisonment, and grand theft.
