READING, Pa. (WPVI) -- A Reading, Berks County man is under arrest after allegedly robbing another man he talked to on Facebook.

Police say Eric Figueroa pulled a gun on the victim in broad daylight while the man tried to sell him a pair of sneakers.

Investigators later used Figueroa's Facebook profile to ID him as the suspect.

Police warn you should meet someone in a crowded place, and don't let that person dictate where and when the meeting should happen.
