I don't know if many of you saw this on the news, so I wanted to share it. Just more proof to be careful out there.

"Detectives with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office are searching for a pair of robbers who used ads on the website backpage.com to rob people looking for prostitutes on Christmas Eve.
Brandon Portalis, 23, and Keri Bruno, 18, are both wanted on active arrest warrants for an armed robbery on Dec. 24. Portalis is wanted on three counts of armed robbery. Police say he is known to frequent the Carencro area.
Bruno is also wanted on three counts of armed robbery and is known to frequent the Breaux Bridge area.
The victims in this case were lured to a location on Batiste Road after answering an ad on Backpage, which is similar to Craigslist, from someone who police say was soliciting prostitution. Once the victims reached the location to meet the prostitute, they were robbed by the suspects.
Capt. John Babin with the sheriff’s office said he wasn’t sure if the victims advised police that they were there looking for prostitutes.
Anyone with information on either suspect is asked to call the Lafayette Sheriff’s Office at 337-236-5895 or 337-232-9211."
