Police in Worcester, Massachusetts have arrested two people they say robbed a man who had arranged to meet a woman through a dating app.
The suspects are scheduled to appear in court on Monday to face charges of marked armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Police say the 27-year-old victim met the woman on Jan. 23 after arranging a date on the Meet Me app.
After he picked her up, she asked him to pull over. When the man pulled over, a masked man with a knife robbed the victim of his cellphone and some marijuana. The woman took $300 from the victim.
Police determined the woman and the alleged robber were working together and on Friday arrested 23-year-old Erin Gonzalez, of Spencer, and 29-year-old David Perez, of Worcester.
