A preteen suspect facing armed robbery charges in Florida may be in the U.S. illegally, according to reports.
On Dec. 12, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) received calls from two people reporting that they had been ambushed by a boy brandishing a knife near Schandler Hall Community Park in Fort Myers.
The first victim said they were walking from the park to a friend’s home when the suspect jumped out of bushes, pointed a knife at him, and demanded his shoes, LCSO explained.
The victim shoved the suspect and escaped on foot.
Minutes later, another victim said the suspect rode into the park on a bicycle, menaced him with a knife, and ordered him to hand over his backpack or be stabbed.
The suspect reportedly took possession of the backpack and fled the scene with its contents, valued at around $400.
LCSO says the suspect posted a photo of himself with the stolen bag on Instagram, but later deleted the post.
Both victims positively identified the suspect as 12-year-old Pedro Luis.
