Armed Robbery In Troy Leads To Multiple Arrests After Snapchat Setup

Updated: 2 days ago

Troy, Mo. — What was supposed to be a simple online meetup to sell a PlayStation instead turned into an armed robbery investigation that has now landed two Hawk Point suspects behind bars in Lincoln County.


Authorities allege the victim arrived in Troy carrying a PlayStation 4, video games, shoes, a jacket, and other items connected to the arranged sale before being confronted by multiple armed suspects.


The victim was allegedly forced out while firearms were pointed directly at him as the suspects took the property and fled from the scene.
