Three suspects have been arrested and charged in connection with a violent robbery that hapened at a home on Gulf View Boulevard in Lehigh Acres, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said the incident began when 22-year-old Adelia Mendez, who knew the victim, lured him to her home where two men were waiting. Once inside, the victim was beaten, held at knifepoint and robbed of cash and personal property, the sheriff’s office said. The suspects also forced the victim to use his phone to transfer money to them while holding him against his will, deputies said.
“This was planned and unfortunately very, very violent,” said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno….
