Two students were robbed at gunpoint off-campus, and police are still searching for the two suspects, officials said.
Prince George’s County Police have made no arrests and no suspects have been named yet in the ongoing investigation, according to county police Crpl. Mike Rodriguez.
At about 1:30 a.m. yesterday morning, two university students were walking along Adelpi Road, near Curry Drive, when two men approached the pair. One suspect reportedly produced a handgun and ordered the two students to “get on the ground,” and they listened, according to a university-wide crime alert sent by University Police Spokesman Capt. Marc Limansky.
The suspects allegedly robbed the students of money and several personal items before fleeing the area, according to the crime alert. The victims then went to Queen Anne’s Hall to report the incident, but did not sustain any injuries, Rodriguez said.
Police would not disclose the identities of the student victims.
University Police have no further information, Limansky said. Because it occurred in their jurisdiction, county police are leading the investigation, he said.
Police are looking for two males, both around 5-feet, 7-inches, about 19 to 23 years old and weighing about 150 pounds. The suspect who carried the handgun is reportedly a black male with dreadlocks and was described as wearing a dark colored T-shirt and blue jeans at the time of incident, according to the crime report. His companion is described a Hispanic male with long, curly black hair who was wearing a cream colored T-shirt with blue jeans at the time of the incident, Rodriguez said.
