A group of five teenagers attacked and robbed a man in his 50s in southern Israel earlier this month after luring him to them through a dating app, according to police.
On April 4, Sderot police officers were called to Route 232 after a brawl was reported. After an investigation, it was found that the teenagers had formed a "sting" and had lured the man to them by arranging an "intimate meeting" with him through a dating app.
When the man arrived to the scene, they began hurling various accusations at him and tried to extort thousands of shekels from him through a number of threats.
The suspects then began attacking the man, bruising him and stealing his cell phone and other belongings.
The detention of the five minors has been extended.
