On Aug. 4 a 23-year-old subject from Elizabeth Town in North Carolina reported that while trying to sell his X-box One online, he discussed a sale with a potential buyer and met the subject at the Sheetz station on North Spence Avenue.

The male subject got into the vehicle and they drove to a home on Maple Street to conduct the transaction. Once they got out of the vehicle to go inside the residence, another unidentified subject came from the bushes and tackled the victim. The suspects took the X-box and began to run from the area.
