Guelph police say no one was hurt after a teenager was robbed while trying to sell his headphones.
Police said the teen made arrangements to meet someone after he tried to sell Apple AirPods through an online marketplace.
When the seller went to meet the supposed buyer at a west-end school on Thursday night, he was reportedly confronted by three people in ski masks.
