DAYTON — A Xenia woman said she was robbed at gunpoint shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, in the parking lot of Rally’s, 1111 S. Smithville Road, while meeting someone to complete a Craigslist transaction.

Dayton police Lt. John Bardun said the woman went to the eatery to meet someone who was allegedly going to purchase the 5-carat diamond ring she’d posted on Craigslist.com. Instead, the woman reported being robbed of the ring by a man armed with a large revolver. He fled northbound on Smithville Road in a late ’80s red or maroon Oldsmobile.

Bardun said the subject is a black male, about 5 foot 8, weighing 200 plus pounds.

Anyone with information should call 333-COPS.
