It’s been a year since the next-gen consoles hit the market, with plenty of improvements and some exclusive adventures. However, due to the pandemic and the shortage of components necessary for its manufacture, it is still very difficult to obtain a Xbox Series X / S or a PS5.
This situation has caused some problems, such as the rise of resellers and the saturation of some online stores where new systems are available. Being highly valued electronic devices, there are some people who would go out of their way to get one. Sadly a guy who wanted to sell his PS5 was the recipient of a violent act.
A boy was a victim of crime when he wanted to sell his PS5
According to the site of ABC News, a 19-year-old from Texas was mugged and shot while trying to sell his console PS5. The bullet hit one of his sides, fortunately, the police arrived very quickly and requested medical help. The man was taken to a hospital and is now out of danger.
According to one of the policemen who responded to the call, the victim posted on the internet that he was selling his console PS5. The assailant contacted him to settle the transaction. However, when they met, the suspect pulled out a weapon to steal the console and turned it on the seller.
The exact details are not known, but the PS5 in question lying on the floor. Perhaps there was a commotion in the neighborhood after the fact, so the assailant had to flee without his loot. Police said they were working hard to get a description of the subject who is currently free.
Unfortunately this mode of operation is becoming more and more common in different parts of the world. An assailant contacts an online seller only with the intention of luring him to a place and snatching what he was offering. That is why we recommend that if you sell something on the internet, especially something coveted like a PS5Be very careful and choose to meet in places with a lot of people.
