A planned clothing sale through the “Offer Up” app escalated into an armed robbery Saturday afternoon in Dumfries.
The 21-year-old victim had arranged to meet potential buyers at the Dumfries Shopping Center. Upon arrival, he met with two men and two women. During the exchange, one of the men reached into the victim’s vehicle and snatched the clothing items.
As the victim attempted to flee the scene, one of the suspects fired a gun at the vehicle. The bullet shattered the rear window and struck the front console. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Police are currently searching for the suspects, described as Black males in their late teens to early 20s, both around 6 feet tall.
