A teenage victim was robbed at gunpoint at a Victorville home after making an online arrangement to sell jewelry on Sunday, law enforcement officials said.
The crime took place about 6:25 p.m. May 17 in the 130000 block of Leawood Street, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
“The victim arranged to meet an unknown subject to sell jewelry online,” agency spokeswoman Socorro Cuevas said.
Several men described as thin and wearing all black clothing arrived at the home armed with guns, she said.
“During the encounter, the suspects stole the victim’s jewelry and fled the area prior to deputies arriving on scene,” according to Cuevas. No injuries were reported.
The stolen jewelry was valued at about $5,000, officials added.
