Two Virginia Commonwealth University students were robbed at gunpoint last night near the southern edge of the downtown Richmond school's main academic campus.
No injuries were reported in the robbery, which occurred at 10:15 p.m. in the 800 block of West Cumberland Street.
Richmond police Capt. Scott Booth said the students, age 21 and 22, were walking along Cumberland when they were confronted by two males, both carrying firearms.
The robbers demanded money, and the victims surrendered a wallet and a cell phone before the robbers fled on foot, Booth said.
Detailed suspect descriptions were not immediately available.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
