A man and a woman have been arrested after two men said they were lured to a property by a woman they met online and then robbed.

Nottinghamshire Police said the first victim told officers he went to a home in Chilwell on 19 April after talking to a woman online and was confronted by a man with a baseball bat.

The second victim said he was robbed at the same address on 24 April.

A 31-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of two robberies.

Det Insp Simon Harrison said: “Luring someone to an address under false pretences in order to rob them is despicable behaviour."
