Police: Craigslist Hookup Leads to Armed Robbery
What one man thought would be an evening of fun turned out to be an evening of a gun pointed in his face, an Atlanta police report says.
BUCKHEAD, GA -- A man looking for a good time on Craigslist got more than he bargained for when the person who showed up at his house robbed him at gunpoint, he told Atlanta police.
On the evening of Dec. 11, a man at the Darlington apartments in Buckhead agreed to meet with another person for sex after they established contact via Craigslist, a police incident report states. When the suspect entered the victim’s home, he allegedly had a gun in his hand.
The victim allegedly told police the suspect said “I’m sorry to do this to you,” tied his hands with TV cables, walked him into a closet, and put a jacket over his head. The suspect then rummaged through the apartment, making off with a cell phone, pills, an ID, and $100.
