ORLANDO, Fla. - Two people have been arrested in connection with a robbery scheme that took place in a Kissimmee hotel room last month, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.

What we know:

Deputies said the incident happened April 26 at the Red Lion Hotel on West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. The victim told authorities he had traveled to meet a woman he knew only as "Amber," whom he had connected with online. After spending the evening together, the pair returned to his hotel room, where "Amber" allegedly opened the door and allowed a masked man to enter.

Investigators said the man kept his hands near his waistband as if armed, while "Amber" took the victim’s wallet, phone and keys, and demanded his debit card PINs. Fearing for his safety, the victim complied. The woman reportedly left the room and returned 15 minutes later with the victim’s belongings before both suspects fled.

The victim later discovered $2,180 had been withdrawn from his accounts.
