A UT Dallas student was robbed at gunpoint at approximately 1:00 a.m., June 26, 2010. The offense took place in a parking lot of the Waterview Apartments.
The student was apparently followed from an ATM machine in the City of Dallas in the area of Spring Valley and Coit Road into the parking lot by the suspects who are believed to have observed him making a deposit. The suspects struck the victim and demanded his wallet and cell phone. Upon taking his property, the suspects fled in a vehicle, described below.
Suspect Information: Two black males wearing light-colored shirts and light-colored baggy shorts. One suspect wore a light-colored baseball style hat. They were accompanied by a black female with shoulder-length, dyed brown hair who stepped out of the car to let the male suspects get back in the car. She was wearing a shirt that appeared to be black and red. Richardson and Plano police departments have reported similar offenses over the last few weeks.
Vehicle information: Red Nissan Altima
