Man selling iPhone robs buyer at gunpoint

The potential buyer of an iPhone listed on Craigslist instead became the victim of armed robbery.

Police say the victim and the suspect met to make the exchange at a restaurant outside the Ellenton Prime Outlets Mall near Bradenton about 9 p.m. Sunday. But the seller told the victim he didn’t bring the phone with him and asked the victim to follow him to a nearby residence to pick it up.

There, the suspect pointed a firearm at the victim and demanded money, other items in the victim’s car and the car keys.

The suspect then ran to a nearby vehicle and fled the area. The victim was not harmed.
