BOCA RATON (CBSMiami/AP) — A photo on the popular social media app, Snapchat, led to a home invasion robbery in Boca Raton, authorities said.

News outlets report a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrest report says an armed robber held a butcher's knife to an 18-year-old man's neck on January 28th and disappeared with $280.

Deputies say the two suspects knew the victim had the cash because he posted a photo of the money earlier in the day using the smartphone app.

The victim told investigators he recognized one of the attackers' voices, whom he identified as 21-year-old Faried Said.

Said was arrested Monday and faces charges of armed robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary to a dwelling or structure. Authorities haven't identified the other suspect.
