Pine Bluff police are searching for an 18-year-old suspect in connection with an aggravated robbery that occurred Saturday morning during a Facebook Marketplace-style transaction.
According to the Pine Bluff Police Department, the robbery took place at approximately 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 3, in a parking lot located at 1416 S. Blake St.
Police say Zykelon Ginger, 18, is wanted in connection with the incident. Ginger is described as a black male, approximately 6 feet tall and weighing about 125 pounds.
Investigators report that the victim told officers he had driven to Pine Bluff from Lonoke to sell a subwoofer to an individual he had contacted through Facebook. When the victim arrived at the agreed-upon meeting location, a black Mercury Grand Marquis reportedly pulled in front of his vehicle, blocking him in.
The victim stated that two black males exited the Mercury and approached his vehicle, asking if they could test the sound system before purchasing it. Moments later, one of the suspects allegedly produced a long gun, pointed it at the victim, and told him the speakers belonged to them.
The suspects then fled the scene with the speakers. No injuries were reported.
The Pine Bluff Police Department is asking anyone with information about this aggravated robbery or the whereabouts of Zykelon Ginger to contact police at (870) 541-5300 or the Detective’s Office at (870) 730-2090.
