Syracuse University alumna reports strong-armed robbery near campus

A Syracuse University alumna had her purse stolen by three unknown boys while walking on Stratford Avenue Sunday night, the Department of Public Safety said.

The strong-arm robbery happened at 8:57 p.m. on Sunday as the alumna was walking in the 500 block of Stratford Avenue, according to a public safety notice from DPS that was sent to the SU community.

The male suspects forcibly stole the woman’s purse and fled the scene in a vehicle, according to the DPS public safety notice. The alumna did not sustain any injuries and refused medical attention.

The suspects did not use weapons, according to the public safety notice.

The three boys were between the ages of 12 and 14, and one of them was possibly wearing a white T-shirt, according to the public safety notice. They were last seen in a white vehicle.

Sunday marked the last day of SU’s Orange Central Homecoming Weekend, which is an event that’s popular for university alumni to attend.

  2. Come on Ed… Stop trying to help the public and the cops with facts in order identify and apprehend these dirt bags sooner vs later, not to mention prevent more crime! Being PC is much more important.

  3. I know right?! Fuck me for doing the wrong thing and simply saying the race of the person. God forbid the race helps to identify the people.

  5. I think you are profiling, and I am feeling uncomfortable and unsafe being white!

    After all, my feelings are much more important than preventing / solving violent crimes!

  6. I am also uncomfortable mentioning they were males! 1) Girls are fully capable of crimes. 2) We need to respect and embrace the possibility of a transgender criminal dirt-bag.

  9. What if the criminal doesn’t identify that way? Maybe they’re non binary boston! For fucks sake!
