The Lee County Sheriff's Office is investigating a hit-and-run near Spectra Apartments in Fort Myers.
Deputies swarmed an area off US-41 and Alico Road on Tuesday evening.
Crews on the scene saw LCSO cruisers and a traffic unit at the front of the apartment complex. Deputies were searching a black Mercedes sedan that was rammed into a bush.
LCSO said there was no pursuit in the incident. A perimeter was set up to locate the suspect after deputies found the vehicle unoccupied.
The car had a big scratch on the back passenger-side door and a broken side-view mirror.
Residents who saw the commotion were shocked to see such a big law enforcement presence.
"It was definitely a little bit of a shock to come in, pull in from work, and just see a bunch of cops everywhere and a car crashed," Spectra resident Pheobe Jackson said.
Other residents also were surprised to see the investigation.
"We've never seen anything like it. It's full of families. It's really quiet. Everybody kind of minds their own business. So cop cars here is a little weird because it's never happened before," Cary Jackson said.
No injuries were reported.
LCSO said this is still an active investigation. You can count on NBC2 to keep you updated.
