A meet-up on Tinder turned into an armed robbery at a Phoenix hotel and police say the suspects now have reservations in court.
Police say after several days on the run, two suspects involved in Tinder meet-up that turned into an armed robbery have been arrested.
The victim told officers he agreed to meet Sonya at the Embassy Suites hotel near Camelback Road and 26th Street in Phoenix on Sept. 17. When he entered the hotel, he was directed to the woman's room. Inside, greeted by two suspects. Five days later, Crystal Hulsey, 33, and Jose Sandoval Jaquez, 32, were identified as the suspects. The victim was able to provide bank statements that showed Zelle and Cash App withdrawals from his account containing partial usernames. Investigators found the usernames matched profiles belonging to the suspects.
While attempting to apprehend the suspects, police say Hulsey and Jaquez fled the scene at a high rate of speed and were seen driving on the wrong side of the road. Then they traveled westbound on the eastbound lanes of Jefferson Road, approaching 27th Avenue.
