Craigslist Robbery Meet & Greet Doesn’t Work Out

In Criminal by GWAO

The short version

This story seems to be on repeat. Someone posts to either sell or purchase an item off of Craigslist.

The people meet for the transaction and one attempts to commit a Robbery on another. In certain situations, the Robbery goes through successfully with a party producing a firearm or a knife and the Robbing the other party. Last night we had yet another Craigslist Robbery ‘Attempt.’ With the key word being Attempt! With a Craigslist posting to sell a PlayStation 4, two groups met just outside of the Family Dollar in Greensboro. One produced the PS4 the other produced a gun…

and somehow, some way, the would-be-Robber ends up fleeing the scene without a PS4.
