A Garrard County man told investigators that he was robbed after a Craigslist sale went wrong.
The Garrard County Sheriff’s Office tells LEX 18 that the victim was searching for rims for his car on the online sales site when he started communicating with someone.
The two agreed to meet at a vacant lot near downtown Lancaster. When the buyer got out of his vehicle, he told police that two men charged at him, forcing him onto the ground. One man was armed with a knife and the other with a gun.

The two robbed the buyer, taking his cellphone, wallet and a green dot card with more than $1000 available credit.
The two who robbed the man were described as white men in their early 20s. There were two females with the men but there was no description of them. The vehicle that the suspects were in is a green Chevrolet pickup truck with tires in the back.
A man named Clarence Quinn was there after the victim was robbed. “He was scared to death,” said Quinn. “Was shaking and he asked us to call the police.”
Quinn said that the victim told him that the suspects responded to his Craigslist post.
“Tells them they’re going to rob him and he starts fighting with him and the other one says don’t struggle we’ve got a gun in the truck,” said Quinn.
Garrard Co. Sheriff’s Deputies are looking for the two suspects in connection to this robbery.
