University of Maryland Police Chief David Mitchell.
Prince George’s County Police are investigating a report of an armed individual at the intersection of Calvert Road and Princeton Avenue.
At 9:37 p.m., male students reported they were running along Calvert Road when a male allegedly approached them, displayed a handgun and demanded their property, according to a crime alert; one student complied and a second suspect joined the first before they both fled the area. Both suspects were described as being about six feet tall. One suspect was wearing a black hoodie with a white No. 33, University Police spokesman Capt. Marc Limansky said; he described the other as having long dark hair.
The suspects allegedly moved toward Route 1 and may have turned north. University Police responded to the report and searched the area last night, Limansky said, and Prince George’s County Police are taking over the case.
“Officers are stopping people, stopping vehicles,” Limansky said last night. “[Prince George’s County Police] is on the scene talking to them now.”
A crime alert sent at 11:11 p.m. gave the all clear, stating police no longer believed suspects were in the area.
