A se­cu­ri­ty guard who went to meet a 21-year-old woman for a date in Mor­vant, was in­stead robbed of cash, valu­ables and a buck­et of KFC while in the area.

Po­lice said the 40-year-old San Juan man made arrange­ments to meet the woman at Kerr Trace, Mor­vant, around 9 pm on Tues­day.

He was re­port­ed­ly in­tro­duced to her about three months ago by one of his co-work­ers.

The two al­leged­ly met on three oc­ca­sions along the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route, where he re­port­ed­ly gave the woman mon­ey on each oc­ca­sion to help her with rent and oth­er ex­pens­es.

The vic­tim told po­lice he went to the woman’s home af­ter she told him she want­ed to in­tro­duce him to her par­ents.

Ar­riv­ing via taxi at Kerr Trace, where he was met by the woman, the vic­tim was in­struct­ed to walk up a near­by hill and then fur­ther north to a track.

Af­ter voic­ing con­cerns when the woman told him to walk in front of her, the vic­tim was con­front­ed by two men.

One man grabbed the vic­tim’s right hand and the sec­ond man held on to the back of his neck and pushed his head down.

He was forced to sit on the ground in the dark and or­dered to hand over his wal­let, which con­tained $1,650 in cash, bank and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion cards, and a DL Pro Plus cell phone val­ued at $740. In ad­di­tion, the men took the buck­et of KFC, which was val­ued at $140.

The vic­tim was or­dered to walk west out the track as the sus­pects head­ed east.

The vic­tim was as­sist­ed by a pass­ing mo­torist, who took him to the Mor­vant Po­lice Sta­tion, fol­low­ing which of­fi­cers re­turned to the ad­dress but were un­able to lo­cate the sus­pects.

PC Mo­han of the Cy­ber Crime Unit was con­tact­ed and was on­ly able to iden­ti­fy the gen­er­al area of Nev­er Dirty, Mor­vant, as the phone was switched off.
