Police have issued a public warning after a Facebook Marketplace deal turned into a theft in Paris.
A resident of Flagg Avenue had listed a green iPhone 15 for sale on the marketplace feature of the social media app. A buyer, with the profile name of Kirtoura Jones, agreed to buy the phone for $650 and arranged to meet at about 6:30 p.m.
While the buyer was in possession of the phone, a white compact vehicle pulled into the driveway, briefly interacted with the man, and then reversed out, heading west on Flagg Avenue. Moments later, the suspect also ran off in that direction, with the iPhone.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
