Investigators this afternoon were seeking two suspects in a violent robbery in Lehigh Acres.

The crime occurred at Luxxor Casino, 5598 8th Street West, Lehigh Acres, just after 11 p.m. Friday.

Upon arrival, deputies met with a 32-year-old female employee who was bleeding from the back of the head. The employee was leaving the business after closing when confronted by two male subjects. One began to hit her in the head and face, while the other entered the business and stole an undisclosed amount of cash. They fled the location on foot.

One suspect was described as wearing all black and the other a gray sweatshirt and dark pants. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries.

A K9 unit arrived to conduct a track of the suspects. It led to 6th Street West where the robbers likely left in a vehicle.

Crime scene technicians with the Sheriff’s Office Forensics Unit were summoned to collect and document evidence. Detectives with the Robbery Unit are continuing the investigation.
