Internet sale safety

What you can do:

Police advised those who sell products on the internet to meet their buyers in a public place such as a police department.

"Meet somewhere where there's going to be a lot of cameras and a lot of eyes on you," said HPD Detective Alvarez. "Usually, when you come to an area you're not familiar with, these kinds of things happen. Just be very vigilant of your surroundings and who you meet online."
