Another robbery in Akron is being linked to the Craigslist website.

Akron police say a man attemping to buy a computer off the site found what he wanted, and contacted the potential seller...who set up a meeting late Friday afternoon at a parking lot on Eva Walk.

The interested buyer tells police that the seller told him to get in the car, a light blue Ford Crown Victoria, where he was robbed of $165 at gunpoint by another man.

The victim then left the car and the suspects fled.

Anyone with more information is being asked to call Akron police.
