If You Needed Another Reason to be Wary of Craigslist...

Blotter-Body-Outline.jpg What happens on Craigslist doesn't stay on Craigslist. It often ends up on the police blotter.

You need a TV. Forget Best Buy, there's a sale at Craigslist. Three victims stop at a home Randolph Avenue in Milton to answer a Craigslist ad for a television. Two men greeted the victims with a gun and robbed them. One victim was assaulted. The suspects don't live at the scene which is a vacant first-floor apartment. Police have been called there before for unrelated crimes.

And, Channel 7, God love them, adds to the story with a great crime pun. The victims got a "bad reception." We get that!

All charges alleged until proven under law.
