Three female students reported an attempted robbery that occurred Wednesday night at approximately 8 p.m. in Haviland Grove, according to a UCPD crime alert.
The alert stated that the two male suspects, who were wearing masks, allegedly approached the victims and both displayed handguns, demanding the victims’ property. The suspects — who have unknown affiliation to campus — were unsuccessful in their alleged attempt and the victims were unharmed, according to the alert.
