CRIME ALERT: Armed robbery near campus (Blaine Street and Watkins Avenue)
Yesterday (8/315) at about 9:30p.m. an armed robbery occurred near our
campus. A male victim was walking at night on Blaine Street and approached
3 males standing near the corner of Blaine and Watkins Avenue. According to
the victim, all of them pointed black colored handguns at him. One of the
males ordered the victim to hand over his wallet and money, which he did.
The suspects then got into a newer model 4-door silver colored sedan
(possibly at Mitsubishi) and headed northbound on Blaine. The victim
described all three suspects as being Hispanic or Black males in their mid
20's that stood about 6 feet tall.
