Two men from Mal­oney and Pi­ar­co were robbed on Thurs­day af­ter­noon by ban­dits who promised a Nis­san Ti­i­da for sale in Barataria.

Po­lice said the men, ages 32 and 44 years, re­spond­ed to a Face­book Mar­ket­place ad­ver­tise­ment and were led to Ninth Av­enue to meet some­one claim­ing to have the ve­hi­cle.

When they reached near a dead end, three ban­dits, one of whom was armed with a gun, con­front­ed them.
