Cobb County police say a woman has been arrested and charged with two counts of armed robbery after she placed an ad on craigslist and robbing the couple who responded to the ad.

Kayla Sells, 20, placed an ad on the popular classified website about a large-screen TV available for sale. When two people answered it, police say Sells, robbed them at gunpoint.

"We believe that she's probably been involved in a couple of these situations and people are somewhat reluctant to report this type of crime because maybe there's a bit of embarrassment there," said Cobb County Police Sergeant Dana Pierce.

Police tell people that if they're looking to buy or sell on Craigslist, ask the other person to meet you at a local police station to conduct the transaction.
