Walk in the woods with woman turns dangerous

A man got more than he bargained for when he offered a woman a ride in his car.

At about 11 a.m. on Oct. 10, the man drove his passenger straight to her requested destination, which was the 4100 block of Price Club Boulevard. She invited him to walk into the woods with her, and he did.

That's when the male suspects showed up. They assaulted the man and robbed him. Then they, along with the woman, fled.

The female and three male suspects are all described as black, and 18-22 years old.

Anyone with information about this crime should call police at 748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 748-0660, or text the code tip699 with the tip and send to 274637 (CRIMES).
