BOISE -- Boise Police are investigating after a Nampa man said he was robbed by three men after he responded to an Internet ad.
The victim says he was robbed in Boise Monday night when he showed up to buy an iPad that was listed for sale on Craigslist.
Police say he had been communicating with the "seller" via e-mail for a couple days when he was asked to show up with several hundred dollars cash to buy the iPad. He was to meet the seller on Lakeharbor Lane just off the 5000 block of W. State Street near an apartment complex.
When he arrived the victim saw a young man walk toward him. Two other men quickly showed up behind the first man, both carrying handguns. The three men demanded the victim's cash and his cell phone. The men were last seen running toward the apartment complex.
The victim went to a nearby business and called police.
Police say the first suspect is described as a light-skinned, young looking male who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7, with a medium build, no facial hair, and wearing a black hoodie.
The other two suspects are also described as light-skinned, young looking males who appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s. They both appeared to be about 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 with grey scarves.
Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS.
