MySpace Meet Up Turns Into Robbery At Gunpoint
GARDNER (WBZ) ―
You could say it was a rendezvous gone terribly wrong for one man who attempted to meet up with a teen he found on a popular social networking Web site.
The victim was planning to meet an 18-year-old woman he found on MySpace.com. They were supposed to find each other behind Dunn's Pond in Gardner on Saturday. Instead of meeting the young woman when he arrived at the pond around 1:30 a.m., the victim told police he was confronted by two men who robbed him at gunpoint.
The thieves nabbed the victim's cash, cell phone, cigarettes and iPod. He was then ordered to walk deep into the woods, so the robbers would have time to escape.
Police are now trying to figure out who the woman in the photo is that was used to lure the victim to the pond.
According to information from MySpace, the girl's name is Erica and she is believed to live somewhere near the robbery, police say.
