Armed Robbery Follows Craigslist Ad
In Temple City, authorities are dealing with an interesting new take on crime as online ads are becoming a new landscape for crimes to originate.
The alleged victim claims that he was responding to an ad on the online website Craigslist, claiming that for $500, he would be the recipient of an iPhone. When he went to the Carl's Jr., however, for the transaction, instead of being given the phone, he was confronted with a semiautomatic pistol and his money was taken from him.
As the armed robbery took place in public during the middle of the day, authorities are unsure of what to tell the public on how to respond to similar threats.
