Deputies say Primak and Rodinov met “Kane” at the Coastland Center Mall, hung out for awhile and then got into a car together.
They drove to an apartment complex on Arbor View Boulevard and were escorted by “Kane” through a breezeway, where Primak and Rodinov were met by two other men. One was wearing a mask. Rodinov reported “Kane” also put on a ski mask and ordered him to the ground. The suspects took their cell phones, wallets and the keys from the rental car and fled on foot.
