At approximately 4:40 a.m. the victim was approached by two suspects who stole his computer and backpack. The victim’s property was recovered before the suspects fled on foot.

The first suspect was wearing a blue tank top, black shorts, light shoes and a dark baseball cap. The second suspect had a dark bandana covering his nose and mouth. He also was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, cargo shorts and dark footwear. Both suspects appear to be in their late teens or early twenties.
