A graduate student had parked his vehicle and was walking east in the unit block of E. 29th Street when a black SUV drove slowly by him and stopped. Two unknown males wearing black bandanas over their faces got out of the SUV. One suspect pointed, what appeared to be, a long-barreled gun at the student while the other suspect went through his pockets. A wallet and a 12-pack of soda were taken from the victim who was not injured. The two suspects ran back to the SUV which then drove west on W. 29th Street.  Baltimore Police and Campus Officers responded. Investigation continuing.

·        Late at night, avoid walking through poorly lit areas. Students are encouraged to use the escort van service late at night instead of walking.  When confronted with an armed robber the best thing to do safety-wise is to relinquish any property demanded and refrain from making any sudden movements that might startle the robber.

Timely and accurate crime reporting is critical to crime prevention.
Report all criminal incidents promptly to the Campus Safety and Security department or other security authority.
