Teen charged after Facebook Marketplace robbery
A teen boy has been charged with robbery and assault after a Facebook Marketplace transaction allegedly went south over the summer in Hamilton’s west end.
Hamilton Police said the female victim was at a Tim Hortons restaurant at 620 King St. W., near the intersection with Dundurn St. N., to sell a diamond ring and met two suspects before they agreed on a price.
Cops said one of the suspects appeared to send an electronic payment that the woman did not receive. A suspect then attempted to take the ring, which the woman held onto before being “dragged from her vehicle and sprayed in the face with what investigators believe was bear spray.”
Police said a 17-year-old boy was arrested after an investigation and charged with robbery, assault with a weapon, possession contrary to an order and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 905-546-3821.
