Deputies say they need your help finding two men who used inside information to break into a south Lee County business on Sunday.

They say sometime between 2:15 a.m. and 2:40 a.m., two men broke into the Burger Fi on Corporate Commerce Way.

Once inside, they moved through the kitchen area, where one of the suspects deactivated the restaurant’s alarm using a valid code.

When the alarm was turned off, the two males walked into the back office and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from a cabinet drawer.

After several minutes, the two suspects were seen on video leaving from the back office, through the grill area, with one of the suspects holding a black bag.

Anyone with information on the suspects 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 $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip through the P3Tips mobile app.
