Scooting away

110833861

Five males combined to rob a man of a Hoverboard he had hoped to sell in Grays Ferry.

At 9:22 p.m., the complainant, having arranged to part with the scooter through a Craigslist advertisement, arrived on the 2700 block of Winton Terrace, where the aforementioned figures were waiting, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He gave the device to one of them to inspect, with individual soon pointing a knife at him and demanding that he back away. The fivesome then ran eastbound on Point Breeze Avenue with the $250 prize. The victim could say only that the at-large men are black and donned dark clothing.
