Man held hostage and robbed at gunpoint after he agreed to meet up with a woman he connected with on a dating app, police say.
The incident occurred on Saturday, when a 30-year-old man contacted the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department informing them that he had been kidnapped and robbed at an apartment complex in Parkland, Washington -- about 8 miles south of Tacoma -- according to a statement released on social media by authorities.The victim told deputies that he had matched with a woman on the dating app Plenty of Fish and subsequently decided to drive over to her apartment complex to meet her in person, police say.
The suspects eventually released the man after approximately three hours but told the victim that they would send the nude photos they took of him to everybody in his contact list if he informed authorities or told anybody what happened. The suspect continued to cause problems while he was being transported to the police precinct and managed to break the car’s interior door panel as well as the top of the seatbelt fastener and attempted to use them in an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the vehicle, police said.
