off-campus strong-arm robbery in the 2300 block of West Flournoy. The
victim stated he was approached from the rear by two subjects, who
punched him in the face and demanded his book bag. The student
surrendered his belongings, and the offenders fled on foot west on
Flournoy and then northbound on Western Avenue. The victim suffered
minor facial contusions but refused medical attention.
UIC Police offer the following security tips:
-Be aware of your surroundings. Use all five of your senses to be
alert for danger, and when walking alone, don't wear headphones or
earbuds.
-Try to travel in groups when possible, particularly after dark.
-Use well-lit walkways.
-On campus, look for the location of the nearest emergency call box
(there are more than 1,500 across campus.)
-The emergency number for UIC Police is 5-5555 or 312-355-5555, which
should be set on speed-dial on your cell phone.
-Report crime promptly to police.
The UICPD/CPD Joint Robbery Task Force will conduct the follow-up
investigation. Both offenders are described as black males, 15-17
years old, 5-7 to 5-9 in height and 150-170 pounds, with brown eyes,
dark complexions, and black hair in buzz-cut style, wearing dark
