TULSA - A man who thought he was going on a date set up through an online dating service became a robbery victim.

It happened just after 1:00 a.m. Wednesday, at the Addison Apartments near Admiral and South Mingo.

When the man arrived he found himself held at gunpoint by three young men.

The suspects escaped with his wallet and the keys to his truck.

Police believe that the suspects are linked to several armed robberies in the area.

Investigators said this is a reminder about the dangers of meeting people online.
