khaolakguy Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Five men who used dating app Grindr to target and attack men in a series of robberies have been jailed. Demalji Hadza, 21, Abubaker Alezawy, 21, Ali Hassan, 20, Wasim Omar, 24, and Mohammed Sharif, 22, lured each man into a meeting before assaulting them and stealing their belongings. The gang were convicted last year of stealing £100,000 from men in Birmingham and Derby over a 10-month period. The group were given sentences ranging from 12 to 17 years at Birmingham Crown Court. Police said some victims were encouraged to come to a location under the pretence of meeting with a legitimate user on dating apps including Grindr, a dating app for the LGBT+ community. When they arrived they were set upon by the gang, who sought to steal money, vehicles, house keys and identification documents. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpq9vey1ndxo t0oL1, reader and Ruthrieston 1 2 Quote
