COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A Gage Park woman has been charged with luring an online date into an alley, where several men were waiting to rob the man at gunpoint.
Shannen Bullaro, 27, had talked to the 28-year-old victim for four months on the social networking site MocoSpace before the two agreed to meet in August, Assistant State's Attorney Erin Antonietti said during a bond hearing Tuesday.
Bullaro met the victim at a Walgreens, 5435 S. Kedzie Ave., before she brought him to a nearby alley, prosecutors said.
There, at least two men robbed the victim at gunpoint, according to an arrest report. The men held down the victim and kicked him in the head before making off with his portable speakers and headphones, prosecutors said.
Police caught Bullaro after she and the accomplices sold the victim's wares at a pawn shop, authorities said. He had reported the items stolen and given police the serial numbers, Antonietti said.
Bullaro told police she and another woman regularly met men through online-dating sites and set them up for robberies.
No one else has been charged.
Bullaro, of the 3100 block of West 54th Place, is charged with robbery. Cook County Judge James Brown on Tuesday ordered her held in lieu of $75,000 bail.
