Help Needed to Identify Robbery Suspects

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is looking for some help identifying two men it says may be responsible for a recent robbery.

The men are accused of using a paver stone to smash out the front door of JJ Smoothy Café, 5717 Gunn Highway, on Jan. 26 around 1:30 a.m. Once inside, the men walked to the back of the store, swiped the safe, and then cleaned out the cash register before leaving, an email from the sheriff’s office stated.

Anyone who can identify the men is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 813- 247-8200. Anonymous tips may also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), online at www.crimestopperstb.com or by texting “CSTB plus your tip” to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637).
