“The pair agreed to meet, and during the exchange, the buyer displayed a machete and robbed the victim of their cellphone,” police said in a news release.
Police checked the area and later found the vehicle and man believed to be involved.
A 21-year-old Kitchener man was arrested and charged.
He is held for a bail hearing.
