Shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday, deputies responded to the area of Sixth Street and Henry Clay Avenue near Covington in reference to a report of an armed robbery. The victim had been lured to that area by a 15-year-old girl he met on social media. Once at the location he was met by the girl and her 13-year-old friend.
