A 28-year-old male was the victim of a robbery via threat early Thursday morning on the ground level of the Upper Hearst Parking Structure.
The victim, a UC Berkeley Summer Sessions student, was walking to his parked vehicle in the parking structure at 2:25 a.m. when he was approached by two suspects, according to a UCPD crime alert.
The first suspect was allegedly walking while the second suspect was allegedly riding a bicycle towards the victim. According to the alert, the first suspect asked the victim what items the victim possessed and reached towards his own waistband, as if he possessed a weapon under his clothing.
The two suspects then took the victim’s cellular phone and wallet, according to the alert. The victim, who was not injured during the encounter, reported the crime to UCPD hours after the incident occurred.
UCPD was not able to locate the suspects.
Below is the UCPD crime alert description of the suspects:
Suspect #1 – Black male adult, early 20s, light to medium complexion,
6’4”, skinny build, short unkempt natural hair, fuzzy goatee, wearing a
dirty maroon colored North Face brand windbreaker jacket, white t-shirt
and blue jeans.
Suspect #2 – Black male adult, early 20s, dark complexion, large
build, clean shaven, wearing a white t-shirt, black and white basketball
shorts and black athletic shoes, riding a bicycle.

hmm…interesting trend i see in the majority of crime reports here in our fine city. I was mugged by, wait just guess… by four black males my freshman year. Oh but don’t be silly, its not there fault, they were the subject of unfair sociopolitical and economic pressures there whole life! Isn’t that what I was supposed to learn during my overpriced four years here at Berkeley?
UCPD- grow some balls and kick the shit out of these thugs.
haha “a trend” huh? That’s rich coming from a guy named Jose.
Further, You don’t even know the difference between there and their. haha shows what a retard you are. You probably cant even speak proper English, unsurprisingly.
And all the other little kids commenting on this are equally stupid. Socially awkward kids with a loose grip on reality, most likely. Traumatized and delusional from being bullied their whole life lol losers
Every time this kind of story comes out, I am reminded of why I want to move to a concealed carry state.
One of these days a student will stand up these thugs and get seriously injured, only then will students and the community clamor for the school to do more.
That’s half right. The students will clamor for the school to do more. The politically correct berkeley liberals will blame the victim, as usual.
DEMOGRAPHIC CRIME AND/OR DISFUNCTION FACTS ARE JUST THAT .. ” FACTS ” AND ” REALITY ” .. FACE IT PEOPLE ……
Mountain lions are not the only predators lurking around Cal
Agreed, black panthers are a much greater threat.
if only I could locate a common denominator in all these crimes
>implying that
a) all black people steal and
b) that no white people steal…
as I said before ‘current student’ is either an ignorant racist, a troll, or both.
lel, fuck yourself, clown!111!!!
lelbot, current student was simply expressing a truism: African Americans make up the majority of predators culpable of such crimes in the campus area. That is neither ignorant nor racist and accurately discusses that which our society in general and the black community in particular must find a way to address…
lelbot, Current student’s statement doesn’t imply that all black people steal or that no white people steal. You logic is off. The statement does point out that the smaller black population of the area is involved in much more crime than it should be involved with. The ignorance lies with those who don’t see the issue and deal with it. It is time to stop making excuses.
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times
more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely
to use a knife. Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent
crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to
commit robbery.
