Court documents say Green would arrange for a place to meet and when the victims showed up with cash, instead of getting the car they came for, they were robbed of thousands of dollars.
Dr. John Cencich is a criminologist and professor at PennWest California, and says social media has become a weapon in many ways.
“This is happening all around the country,” Cencich tells Channel 11. “It’s a new medium for armed robbery.”
The first crime happened on Haverhill Street. Three victims came with $3,000 in cash, but when they met with Green, police say they were robbed at gunpoint.
Four days after that, less than a half-mile away on Blackadore Avenue, a gun was held to a man’s head and $4,500 was stolen from him when he tried to buy a car he saw on Facebook Marketplace.
Two days later, a man was pistol-whipped and he and his wife were robbed of $3,500 on Tacoma Street when they tried to buy a car they saw on Facebook Marketplace.
