Man Robbed After Social Networking Meet Up

District 6 officers responded to a Hold Up near the intersection of Gladys and Park around 6:00 a.m. on September 14.

A 30-year-old man told officers that he came to the location to meet a man he had met on a social networking application.

When the 30-year-old man met the man, the man produced a gun and announced a robbery. The man told the 30-year-old man to drop his keys and his phone.

As the 30-year-old man was walking away, he heard one gunshot, and he began to run. When he returned to where he parked his 2015 Dodge Journey, it was gone along with his phone.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the North Patrol Division at 314-444-0001 for a District 6 detective. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous and/or is interested in a possible reward can contact CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
