CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Deputies need the community's help in identifying a couple accused of stealing Pub Sub sandwiches from a Florida Publix store over the weekend.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said a man and a woman walked into the grocery store located on Del Prado Boulevard in Cape Coral and approached the deli department to ask for their online order containing two whole turkey subs.

The deli clerk was not able to find their order and decided to make new sandwiches.
