Police have captured the suspect who they say brutally beat and robbed his girlfriend's former boyfriend.
Margaux H. Tocci, 19, from Wyckoff, N.J., is accused of luring her ex-boyfriend into a vacant school yard where he was then beaten and robbed by two men late Thursday night, authorities said. Her bail was set at $50,000.
Tocci was arrested and charged with robbery and theft. Cops say she contacted an ex, asking if he wanted to drive around in her new car. She then allegedly drove him to Lincoln School and said they should take a walk around.
20-year-old Daniel Chaupiz of Wyckoff was charged with aggravated assault and robbery. Bail was set at $100,000 for Chaupiz.
Chaupiz and another man beat the victim with a baseball bat and pipe, police said. They took his wallet and cash and smashed his cell phone, police said.
Then they took off in Tocci's car, police said.
The victim described the car to cops, who pulled Tocci over and arrested her. She was alone in the car, police said.
Authorities charged Tocci with "robbery and theft by being armed with deadly weapons, by aiding actors and luring the victim to the scene of the crime and providing transportation from the scene for the actors," according to a police news release.
Cops said Tocci refused to give them any information on the men who attacked her ex.
