A US man allegedly robbed a woman outside her home - and then returned two hours later to ask her for a date.
Police say Stephen Bennett, 20, was one of three men who robbed Daniel Martinez Batista and Diana Martinez at gunpoint in Columbus, Ohio.
The late night robbery happened in a car park outside Ms Martinez's apartment, reports the Columbus Dispatch.
The three robbers fled with Mr Batista's wallet and Ms Martinez's purse after they were threatened by a neighbour.
But, less than two hours later, one of the three robbers returned to the apartment to ask Ms Martinez out, police said.
"We are not exactly sure what he was thinking at the time," said Columbus police Sgt Shaun Laird.
"She recognized him right away when he returned, and was able to have her cousin call 911."
Police arrived within minutes and arrested Bennett. They are still looking for two other men in connection with the robbery.
