The Department of Public Safety and Ypsilanti Police Department are investigating two armed robberies.
The first one took place at 8:52 p.m. Thursday in the Ann Street Lot. The male EMU student was robbed after being pistol whipped by "a silver revolver" according to the EMU timely warning.
There was another robbery at 9:06 p.m. on the 700 block of Jenness Street. Jenness Street is directly east of the Alexander Music Building and the Ford parking lot. Another male EMU student was the victim.
Both victims reported being robbed by two African American males. Both victims also reported being attacked in the same away, smacked over the head with the weapon. The EMU timely warning said that they were "possibly armed with a small silver revolver."
According to M-Live, this M.O. resembles that of an 18-year-old Romulus man, who was charged for separate armed robberies on Monday.
Anyone with any relevant information is always encouraged to tell DPS. The phone number is 734-487-1222. The department is located in the same building as the CrossRoads MarketPlace, by the Towers. The Ypsilanti police can also be called at its non-emergency number at 734-483-9510.
