Woman, 18, arrested in Tega Cay stripper robbery
Authorities have charged a woman with conspiracy in the armed robbery of a Tega Cay man who ordered a stripper online, according to police.
Neilani Arelis Rodriguez, 18, of Warwick Circle in Lake Wylie, was arrested by York County deputies Saturday and charged with conspiracy, according to Maj. David Nelson, a spokesman for the Tega Cay Police Department.
The robbery happened Friday at a home on Catamaran Drive, police have said. The victim was reportedly robbed at gunpoint shortly after a stripper he ordered using the website Backpage.com showed up at his home.
The woman was in the home for about 15 minutes when an unknown man armed with a gun broke into the back door of the residence, police say. The victim said he was held at gunpoint and told to hide his face.
The victim told officers he heard the man rummaging through his home, and when he looked up, the stripper and the man were gone.
Nelson said the investigation is ongoing.
