CAPE CORAL, FL – The Cape Coral Police Department has arrested two juvenile females, identified as Cali Hill (DOB 03/25/2012) and Lazette Porter (DOB 03/28/2012), after a series of vehicle burglaries, a stolen vehicle incident, and the recovery of two stolen firearms across multiple neighborhoods earlier this month.
Between October 10 and 12, 2025, officers responded to several reports involving overnight vehicle burglaries throughout residential areas of Cape Coral. In each case, the suspects targeted unlocked vehicles—primarily sedans and SUVs—taking various personal items, credit cards, and two different handguns. One vehicle, a late‑model sedan, was also stolen from a driveway and later located abandoned in the city.
Officers quickly linked the incidents through shared evidence, including surveillance footage showing two juvenile females entering multiple vehicles in the overnight hours. Investigative techniques led to the identification of Hill and Porter. Both juveniles were later observed driving the stolen vehicle and in possession of items belonging to burglary victims. They stopped at multiple McDonalds and gas stations in the stolen vehicle.
On October 12, 2025, officers, assisted by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, located Lazette Porter at a residence in North Fort Myers. During the operation, police recovered two stolen handguns confirmed to match those taken from separate burglary scenes earlier in the weekend. Hill was arrested at her residence by Cape Coral patrol officers.
