Facebook is allowing advertising for online gambling on it's site. It is also a way for many people to meet other people in hopes of finding true love.
Leah Gibbs is one Facebook user that snatched an opportunity to have a date with a fellow Facebook user. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Wrong!
Leah served as a "get away man" for the man she met on Facebook which she thought was going to be a normal date.
After they made a date to watch a movie together, the man she met asked her to drive him to the mall so he could meet up with a friend.
The man returned to the car and urgently asked her to drive back to his apartment. That's when the police showed up and nabbed the two.
The man had robbed a landbased Ladbrokes betting facility (Ladbrokes is a popular online casino as well) with a knife and got away with £250. The cashier was able to get information off of the car's license plate, which then led the police to the apartment, where they were both arrested.
Leah Gibbs was released after the police had enough evidence that she was an unknowing member of the crime. Minton, the Facebook date, confessed that he has gambling and drug addictions, the reason for the crime.
Leah's thoughts about the incident .... "I thought I would be ending the night in Adams arms. Instead, he had landed in the long arms of the law and I was facing jail. Im not a bad person. I was duped. It could have happened to anyone."
