17-year-old arrested in OfferUp Robbery in Victorville

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (news release) A 17-year-old male was arrested and booked into jail for possession of stolen property and robbery, officials said.
On October 12, 2017, Deputy R. Ripley, from the Victorville Police Department, responded to a residence in the 16600 block of Zenda Street for a reported theft.
The victim met with a 17-year old male to sell a game system they had advertised on the internet application, Offer Up. The suspect took the system inside his residence to test it and never came out.
