A young woman set a trap for a man she met on a dating site and planned for two men to rob him after she picked him up in her car. The men threatened to kill her date but he managed to escape unharmed after running away from the car.
Gemma Frost, 23, and her victim Christopher Stanley had met online in May 2020 and he loaned her £210 but when she asked if her friend could borrow money he refused. After finding out he had access to money Frost became part of a plan with the two men to rob Mr Stanley by driving him to a location and forcing him to hand over money.
On June 3, 2020, Frost called Mr Stanley and arranged to meet him in person for the first time and she agreed to pick him up. At 7pm that day the defendant arrived and he got into the front passenger seat. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard Frost drove toward Manor Way in Cardiff when she saw the two men approaching the car.
