Two teenage males were arrested Sunday for robbery and harassment, according to a Department of Public Safety news alert.
The suspects approached a student at about 3:10 a.m. Sunday on the corners of Waverly and Comstock avenues and demanded that the student give them his watch, the alert stated. Another student witnessed the event and reported it to a passing Public Safety officer.
Public Safety officers found the suspects before they left the area and were positively identified, according to the alert. The 18-year-old suspect was brought to the Justice Center, and the 15-year-old suspect was held by the Syracuse Police Department's youth division.
- Two students reported a robbery Saturday night on the 100 block of Marshall Street after they were approached by a group of six to eight males, according to a Department of Public Safety news alert.
One of the unknown male suspects put his arm around one of the students and asked him if he wanted any drugs. He then asked the student to see how much money he had in his wallet, the alert stated. When the student showed that he did not have any money, the unknown male grabbed the wallet and punched the student in the eye.
Another member of the group took money from the second student, telling him that if he did not give up his wallet, the same thing would happen to him, according to the alert.
Two other students reported that they had been approached in the same manner on the same block, and the suspects left the scene in two separate vehicles, the alert stated.
Both Public Safety alerts ended with safety reminders to students, advising them to walk in groups in well-lit and well-traveled areas.
"If someone tries to rob you, don't resist. Give up your property, not your life," the e-mail read.
