From the Kingdom of Bahrain comes this interesting story of a hookup with the purpose of mugging; that brings back memories of a similar crime done in NY a couple of years back.

Three men have admitted robbing a 21-year-old Bahraini at knifepoint after setting up a gay “honeytrap” over the Internet. The victim was lured to a rendezvous after striking up a chat room friendship with one of the assailants.

A staged mugging took place as a result; however, the plot was exposed when the victim reported the incident to police.

The three conspirators are currently in custody facing a charge of aggravated robbery and will remain in detention until their case goes to court.
