About 2:30 a.m., the victim went to meet with Ciarra L. Webb, 19, of Moses Lake, at a home in the 1800 block of West Crouse Street. The two reportedly met online and the victim believed he was meeting Webb for a date, according to police reports.
While at the home, Webb allegedly told the man she was going to go upstairs to change, when two men, identified as Angel I. Avalos, 20, and Jordan J. Ramirez, 22, both of Moses Lake, allegedly entered the home, armed with a rifle, and stole the victim's wallet, according to police records.
The victim told police the three suspects later called him and demanded the personal identification number to his debit card.
Officers later found all three suspects at the West Crouse Street home and they were taken into custody. The victim was able to positively identify the three as the robbery suspects.
