At approximately 12:10 a.m. Friday morning, three unknown subjects approached a victim South of the Carr Health Building on the campus.
One of the subjects was a light skinned male, black between the ages of 18-22. This suspect acted as if he had a weapon by keeping one hand behind his back, but did not show the victim a weapon. The suspect then demanded the victim’s money and took it without further incident. It is unknown at this time the descriptions of the other two suspects. After the robbery the suspects fled in a white pickup truck in an unknown direction. The victim was not injured.
