Police are on the lookout for two suspects after an online marketplace meetup resulted in an assault and theft in Collin County.
The Allen Police Department said officers responded to a Chase Bank parking lot in the 800 block of S. Allen Heights Drive around 4:46 p.m. after reports of a robbery.
Upon further investigation, police said they learned someone drove to the parking lot to sell a Rolex watch to another person they met online.
During the encounter, the suspect allegedly pepper-sprayed the seller, took the watch, and fled the scene eastbound on Bethany Drive in a black Chevy Camaro with tinted windows.
