Two UC Berkeley students were the victims of an armed robbery on the west exterior steps of Building 2 at the Clark Kerr Campus residence halls early Tuesday morning.
The two victims, a male and a female, were sitting on the steps at around 12:41 a.m. when two individuals wearing dark clothing and bandanas over their faces approached them. According to a UCPD crime alert released Tuesday, one perpetrator displayed a firearm and took the victims’ backpacks along with one wallet.
The suspects fled toward Warring Street. Neither student was harmed during the encounter.
