According to the article, it involves a new way to steal cash.  Transferring money via cell phone app.

Here’s how it worked, the male victim entered “Room 305” of the hotel with a young woman he had met online.  The woman stepped out of the room momentarily only to return with a male accomplice to make the digital robbery.  According to the article, the male accomplice pointed a gun at the victim and demanded cash.  The victim didn’t have any, so they stole his phone and transferred money digitally via a cash app.
