FISHERS — Online buying and selling can be potentially dangerous. WRTV spoke with one man who was shot while trying to buy a car from Facebook Marketplace.
Police urge that anyone making these types of transactions to do so in a well-lit area, like a police station.
Now, the Fishers Police Department has introduced a safe way to trade available at the Fishers Police Department.
The "safe trading zone" offers a safe space for people buying, selling or trading items through online sites such as Facebook Marketplace.
A sticker marks the floor inside the Fishers police department where the area is covered by surveillance cameras.
The safe trading zone is open 24/7.
