Halton police are looking for three young men after a planned Kijiji purchase turned into a robbery at Burlington’s Mapleview Mall Tuesday, July 10.

At around 9:30 p.m., the two victims went to the mall to meet with the trio that had responded to a post on Kijiji advertising the sale of several phones.

Police say that, during the meeting, the thieves waited until the victims were distracted and grabbed a bag containing the phones out of one victim’s hand.

They then fled the area on foot.
