A Lake Country couple who thought they were coming to the aid of someone in need, ended up needing help themselves.

The couple was approached in a parking lot on Oceola Road back on Oct. 7, by a distraught woman who said she was escaping an abusive relationship and had taken gold jewelry from her boyfriend in her attempt to leave.

The woman allegedly drove a 2001 black Mercedes with a 10-year-old boy and another man inside.

According to Crime Stoppers the couple was initially skeptical of the woman and checked over the gold rings, necklaces and bracelets.

After passing a few initial tests the couple decided to help the woman by giving her some money for her jewelry.

However, after taking the gold to a jeweller it was determined the pieces were fake.

The suspect is described as:

• South Asian
• approximately 30-year olds
