Aggravated robbery/Helmsdale Road: A 24-year-old man told police Nov. 4 he was lured to a home by a woman he was exchanging texts with and was robbed at gunpoint for his car and pants by the woman's brother.

Reports say the man told police that the woman told him to meet her at about 10 a.m. at a home on Helmsdale Road. The man said he thought something was strange because the home was very quiet, and the woman's phone kept ringing.

The man told police he was leaving the home when the woman yelled "Get him" and a man jumped him inside the home.

Reports say the two fought. The other man struck the 24-year-old in the head with a gun, told the man "you're about to die" and ordered the man to take his pants off.

The man did and the man with the gun told the man to "Leave before I change my mind and kill you," reports say.

The man with the gun then drove the other man's car down the road and into East Cleveland where he abandoned it.

The man ran down the street to a florist without pants and called police.
