A YSU student reported that she was robbed on the third level of the M-1 parking deck shortly before 1 p.m. today. The student said a man stuck something into her back, demanded money and stole a silver, mesh ring off her finger before fleeing in what is described as an older model, brown rusted vehicle. The student did not report seeing a gun. She was not hurt. Police do not have a firm description of the suspect, or another person who was driving the car. YSU police and Youngstown city police responded immediately. The suspects have not been apprehended.
If anyone has any information about this incident, please call the YSU police at 330-941-3527 or call 911 from any campus telephone.
Incidents such as this are rare on the YSU campus. Given the current environment and understandable concern about campus safety, we felt it was important that everyone be made aware of this incident.
