Off-campus robbery 1.26.18
Around 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 26, 2018, three students reported a robbery in the 400 block of Wesley Place, just south of the railroad tracks behind Coleman Coliseum. The victims were approached by two suspects who took their purses and a bag. They were not injured.
The two suspects were both described as black males with dark complexions, in their 20s, around 5’6” tall, average build and wearing dark jeans and black hoodies.
The suspects left the area in an older model four-door car with body damage along the length of the driver’s side.
Anyone who has any additional information about this occurrence is asked to call University Police at 205-348-5454 or Crime Stoppers at 752-7867(STOP). Crime prevention information is published in UAPD’s Safer Living Guide published at https://police.ua.edu/safer-living-guide-2-2/
Below are some safety considerations for students and community members:
– Be careful and mindful of any valuables you may carry on your person
– If confronted, give the perpetrator what they ask for. Your safety is more important.
