Man says he was robbed during meeting with prostitute

A man who thought he was meeting a prostitute was instead robbed by three men brandishing an axe and a knife, say Windsor police.

The 55-year-old victim showed up at Windsor police headquarters around 10 a.m. on Jan. 21 to announce he had just been robbed.

The man admitted he had been communicating online with a female who he was led to believe was a prostitute. He had arranged to meet with her 9:30 a.m. at a residence in the 1000 block of Parent Avenue.

The man said he entered the building and was met by the female, then confronted by three men he didn’t know.

Two of the men had covered faces. One was armed with an axe, another had a knife.

The victim was assaulted and robbed. One of the attackers went outside to the victim’s parked vehicle and took numerous items, including his identification.

The victim immediately went to police.

Detectives quickly identified and arrested a female suspect.

After obtaining a warrant, police searched the residence and found some of the stolen property, as well as an axe and knife believed to have been used in the robbery.

The thieves were all described as white men with slender builds, between five-foot-seven and sixfeet in height.

A robber who didn’t wear a mask had a clean-shaven face and short dark hair.

Giselle McKenna, 22, is charged with one count of robbery.
