Stafford County, Va. - Three men now face charges in a string of apparent Craigslist robberies, investigators say.
The attempted robberies date back to July 18, when two different victims were told to meet the suspects at a predetermined location in Stafford to pay for an iPhone and Playstation 3 the victims thought they had purchased on the popular trade services Web site, Craigslist, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
When the first victim arrived, the suspects tried to rob and assault him. But the victim was able to chase away the suspects, and then went to the sheriff’s office to report what had happened, said Kennedy.
