Detectives in the Atlanta suburb of South Fulton are investigating a string of robberies that are targeting gay men on the dating app Grindr.
South Fulton police detectives said they are investigating a string of robberies in the Old National Highway that seem to be targeting gay men on dating apps.
Detectives said victims have been set up to meet near the highway where they have been robbed at gunpoint.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether there is more than one suspect in the case. They said one of the apps being used to lure victims is Grindr, a social media dating platform used primarily by gay men. Several male victims have been targeted, according to the detectives.
