CABARRUS COUNTY, NC (WBTV) - A Charlotte man and woman were arrested on Monday in connection to a robbery that police say was advertised as a female escort service.

Tyler Fredell, 20, and 21-year-old Marta Delcid are charged in what police are calling a robbery and kidnapping investigation.

Police say a Midland resident contacted the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Department concerning an internet ad about a supposed female escort service.

The woman, who police believe to be Delcid, came to the victim's home and a man, believed to be Fredell, went in shortly after. That's when the victim told police the man held them at gunpoint while the woman tied them up. Fredell and Delcid are accused of taking four guns and money from the victim's home before they left.

Officials say Delcid and Fredell were involved in similar robberies in Mecklenburg County and Lancaster County, South Carolina.

Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office at 704-920-3025, or local law enforcement.

Delcid was given a $1,015,000 secured bond and Fredell was given a $1,500,000 secured bond.
