Two Men Robbed During Facebook Marketplace Meeting in Tunapuna
Two men, both aged 45 and from Couva and Marabella, were robbed on Wednesday afternoon while attempting to sell an air rifle to a buyer they met on Facebook.
According to police reports, around 5:30 p.m. the victims travelled to Upper Fairly, Bamboo Trace, Tunapuna, to complete the transaction. Upon arrival, they were invited behind a green two-storey house, where the sale was supposed to take place.
