On July 05, 2010 at 12:02 am, the University of Illinois Police 
Department responded to a robbery that occurred in the 800 S. Block of 
Wright Street, Champaign.

The victim, a twenty-one year old male, was walking on the sidewalk on 
the east side of the Illini Union Bookstore just after midnight.  Two 
individuals who were walking in front of him turned around and struck the 
victim.  The victim fell to the ground where the offenders took his 
property.  The offenders then fled from the area on foot.  

The offenders were both wearing shorts.  One offender was wearing a white 
t-shirt and described as tall and skinny with short hair.  The other 
offender was not wearing a shirt and described as shorter and stocky with 
short hair.

The victim received minor injuries from this incident including scratches 
and abrasions.

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).
