A female University student was robbed early Saturday morning as she walked alone to her house on the 400 block of 17th Street, Charlottesville Police Capt. Chip Harding said.
The student reported to the police that as she was entering her door about 3:30 a.m., two men approached her and demanded her purse. One of the men then grabbed the purse and the two ran in the direction of the railroad tracks near Chancellor Street. According to Harding, the student described the robbers as two black men between the ages of 16 and 24 wearing black T-shirts.
Harding said the perpetrators were unarmed and he has no reason to believe that the robbery is connected to any other recent crimes.
