Timely Warning Notification of a Criminal Incident October 20, 2008 Robbery
This message to members of the University community is being sent in the interest of public safety and in compliance with federal law requiring timely warning notification of crimes committed on or near campus.
On Monday, October 20, 2008, at 10:23 p.m., a 19 year old male student was robbed by two men while walking southbound on Brooklyn Ave. N.E. where it intersects the Burke-Gilman trail. The suspects approached the victim from behind and implied they had a gun, but none was seen. The victim was not injured. The suspects fled the area after taking personal belongings from the victim; some of the victim's property was located a short distance away. The victim did the right thing by not struggling with the suspects; no amount of property is worth risking your personal safety.
The suspects are described as males in their early 20s, both about 5'6", one with a medium build and the other with a thin build, wearing dark colored hooded sweatshirts. This incident was assigned University of Washington Police Department incident #08-002567.
