Robbed at gunpoint for $10K in Cash + Truck Stolen

[IReallyLikePizza2]

So, some guys were buying a truck off FB marketplace. They live in North Houston far away from me, and got given an address somewhere else far away. They get there, and the truck sellers are nowhere to be found. Then they get told to meet down my street, outside some shady apartments, so they come out. They drive around a little, because they cannot see the truck they are purchasing which is apparently parked here. They decide to get out and stand on the corner with $10K in cash in a bag, and are robbed at gun point. The whole thing is a setup, of course. They plead with the criminals to not take their truck as its all they have for transport, and the criminals say they will just dump it near by.

So the criminals take their truck, dump it a few blocks down with the tires slashed. They get a ride to their truck with my neighbors

Criminals are in the silver Tundra, guys getting robbed are in the Black RAM

Long video because it includes everything


Skip to 17:36:20 to see the robbers pull up and start

Truck has never been here before. It has a real plate on the front which matches the vehicle





Plate looked up on Carvana, and VIN googled to find this image. Note the front bumper dent



The truck had come around a few times earlier to scope the place out



Between 4PM and 4:44PM they added the temp tag on the back

The victims managed to snap a short video of them running away, where the gun is visible in their right hand



I had a conversation with the guy when he came looking for video, and the amount of reg flags present in the transaction is shocking. 100% avoidable

Unsure why they chose this area, I guess they didn't know someone was running LPR a few houses down

So the criminals know your neighbors? I am confused.

Skip to 17:36:20 to see the robbers pull up and start

The video is only 9 minutes long, so no 17:36:20 to skip to.

It was on the next block, and the criminals told the victims they would dump it nearby, they just didn't want to be followed

17:36:20 actual time, in the video timestamp

OK, so now I understand. The silver truck pulls up and the two guys get out and rob the two other guys. The silver truck takes off and the robbers run up and take the victim's truck. Then the victims walk up to the white pickup and ask to be take to where the perps dumped their truck.

no overwatch and they are flashing the cash

Yep, multiple red flags before they ever even got the location

if they had simply requested to meet inside the bank, situation solved

WOW.

How long did it take for the police to show up?
