Po­lice are look­ing for a man who robbed an­oth­er man of his car and valu­ables while he wait­ed to meet up with his date from the Grindr app.

The as­sailant is said to be of African de­scent, about 5-feet-10-inch­es tall, with a slim build and long un­kept hair.

Po­lice re­ports in­di­cate that around 11:30 pm on Fri­day, the vic­tim made his way to Prince Street to meet in per­son a man he had met on the dat­ing app and with whom he had had vir­tu­al meet­ings.

He drove his white Toy­ota Dai­hat­su val­ued $25,000 to the meet­ing point. While wait­ing to meet his date, the vic­tim was or­dered to ex­it his ve­hi­cle by the sus­pect. The vic­tim com­plied.

The sus­pect then drove off with the car and the vic­tim’s Sam­sung S21 Plus cell phone val­ued $7,000 as well as his spec­ta­cles val­ued at $4,000.

The vic­tim then walked in a west­er­ly di­rec­tion un­til he reached St. Christo­pher’s Gas Sta­tion, where he was as­sist­ed by po­lice of­fi­cers who brought him to the Bel­mont Po­lice Sta­tion to make a re­port.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.
