 Subject: CRIME-ALERT

On April 09, 2010, the University of Illinois Police Department responded 
to a report of a battery and robbery that occurred at approximately 2:20 
am outside the west side of the Armory Building (505 E. Armory Avenue, 
Champaign).

The victim was walking from the area of Green Street and Sixth Street 
where he felt he was being followed by a group of individuals.  On the 
west side of the Armory Building this group of individuals battered the 
victim.  One offender obtained property belonging to the victim.  All 
three offenders then fled on foot southbound along Fourth Street.

One offender was described as a white male, 18 to 21 years of age, with 
average build and short in terms of height, wearing a light blue or white 
striped dress type shirt and a light colored baseball cap worn backwards.

The witness was not able to provide any descriptors for the other 
offenders.

Anyone with information about this incident should call the University of 
Illinois Police Department at 217-333-1216.  Information also can be 
shared anonymously through Crimestoppers by calling 217-373-TIPS or 
online at:  http://www.champaigncountycrimestoppers.com/   Crimes in 
progress, reporting of suspicious individuals or any event requiring a 
police response should be reported to our regional dispatch center by 
calling 9-1-1.

The University of Illinois Police Department does not use race as an 
identifier in our Crime Alerts unless the descriptors are unique enough 
to aid the community in identifying the offender.  To be more specific, 
we do not use race as an identifier unless the description is 
sufficiently detailed that it would aid in the investigation and 
apprehension of the offender(s).
