 Subject: CRIME-ALERT

Champaign Police and Crime Stoppers are seeking information regarding an 
incident involving attempted robbery and aggravated battery.

On Saturday, October 9th, at approximately 11:46 p.m., the two female 
victims, both 21 years of age, were walking together in the 600 block of 
East Healey Street near Sixth Street. As they crossed Wright Street, they 
observed two male subjects standing on either side of the sidewalk. As 
the females walked down the sidewalk between the two males, the shorter 
of the two males made a comment about robbing them. He struck one of the 
females in the back of the head with an object, but she and the other 
female were able to run away. When they looked back, the two males were 
walking down the sidewalk in the opposite direction, away from the 
victims.

Nothing was taken from either of the victims; however, one of the victims 
suffered a laceration to the back of her head and was transported to 
Carle Hospital for treatment.

The two suspects are described as follows:

- A black male in his 20's, approximately 5'8" tall and weighing 
approximately 165 lbs., shaved head, brown eyes, and wearing a black 
hooded sweatshirt with a white symbol on the front and black jeans.

- A black or Hispanic male in his 20's, approximately  6' tall and 
weighing approximately 170 lbs., black hair, brown eyes, and wearing 
black baggy clothing.

If you have any information regarding the identities and/or locations of 
the suspects, call Crime Stoppers at (217) 373-TIPS or (217) 373-8477.

Information can also be sent by anonymous web tip by going to
