Two unidentified suspects are wanted in Atlanta after a man was robbed at gunpoint during a dating app meet-up, according to police.
Investigators said the robber pointed a gun at the victim and took his car during the March 6 incident, according to a statement.
The victim told police he had met the man on the gay dating app Grindr, the statement said. He said he picked up the suspect in his car and they drove to an area off Hightower Road.
Shortly after they arrived, the suspect pulled out the gun and said: “Give me the car and everything you got.”
The suspect then drove off in the victim’s car, police said. It was later recovered.
