Buyers, Sellers Online Can Make Transactions At Police Department

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Annapolis police want people buy and sell items online to conduct face-to-face transactions in a safe place -- the department.

Chief Michael Pristoop tells The Capital of Annapolis (http://bit.ly/1F4ObdY) that there has been one homicide and several robberies in Anne Arundel County after people met in person after answer ads on Craigslist and other online sites.

Pristoop said on Thursday that residents can conduct transactions in the department's parking lot or inside the lobby.

Officers can also use a database to check items that are being purchased to make sure they aren't stolen.
