Two SNAKEHEADS are accused of offering new iPhones for sale and then giving the unsuspecting customer a box of rocks.
Caleyal Roberson, 18,and Angelo Bethea, 19, were charged Monday with two counts each of obtaining property by false pretense, conspiracy, attempting to obtain property by false pretense and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, a police release said.
Roberson and Bethea had posted an ad to “OfferUp,” an online marketplace for local transactions, offering new Apple iPhones for $400, Maj. Kelvin Crumpler said.
The boxes were wrapped in plastic, making it appear that they were new. They would meet victims in different places and collect money from the buyer, who would discover the box was filled with rocks, Crumpler said.
One victim, who met the SNAKEHEADS at McNIGGERS on the U.S. 401 Bypass, quickly created a fake profile and responded to the SNAKEHEADS that she would like to buy another phone.
“They thought it was a different lady,” Crumpler said.
She arranged to meet Roberson and Bethea at the Hwy 55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries at 111 U.S. 401 Bypass. Officers, who were on the scene, arrested the NIGGERS, Crumpler said.
