Two men were arrested this week on suspicion of beating up a man and stealing his camera in Costa Mesa, police said Thursday.

Costa Mesa police officers responded to a report of a robbery in the 2500 block of Newport Boulevard just before 7 a.m. Tuesday.

A 26-year-old man told officers that he had set up a meeting with two men to sell them a camera after they had responded to his online ad. Instead, he told officers, the men repeatedly kicked and punched him before making off with his camera, police said.
