A Florida woman and her ex-boyfriend robbed a senior citizen under the guise of a romantic date, police said.

According to the press release from the Volusia County Sheriff’s office, Chelsea Wright, 34, and Andrew Marks, 33, were involved in a violent robbery scheme of a 73-year-old man whose injuries required treatment at an area hospital.

Police said that the elderly victim arrived at a local hospital around 5 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 29 and shared a sordid incident regarding his interaction with Wright and Marks.

The 73-year-old told hospital staff that he was meeting Wright at a Daytona Beach bar for a romantic date to discuss the couple’s relationship, police said.

At the hospital, the victim was treated for numerous injuries to his head, torso, and arms, with significant lacerations to his head requiring staples, and his eye swollen shut.

After the victim’s date turned sour, police conducted surveillance on Wright before pulling her over for a traffic infraction and finding narcotics in her car.

During an interview with detectives, she lied and said that the attacker was an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s who she picked up on the side of the road. 

Detectives later discovered text messages between Marks and Wright, where they had planned the robbery together and had previously dated.

Marks was located and arrested early Friday in Holly Hill on charges of robbery with a weapon and aggravated battery on a victim over the age of 65. 

Wright was arrested as principal on the same charges, police said.
