Student threatened, robbed in Walnut Park
Two men threatened and robbed a student in Walnut Park early Saturday morning, the Department of Public Safety said.
As the student walked through the park around 2:51 a.m., the two suspects approached him. One asked for directions, and the other stole the student’s wallet from his back pocket, DPS said.
The student tried to get his wallet back, but the suspects threatened to physically injure him. They then ran away toward Marshall Square Mall, DPS said.
The student was not injured, and the suspects did not display any weapons.
The two suspects were described as black males in their early 20s around 6 feet tall, DPS said.
DPS Chief Tony Callisto said officers are following leads on the case with Syracuse Police.
‘There’s detectives with city police working with our investigators right now,’ he said.
Anyone who may have seen anything should contact police, even if folks saw something that matched the suspects’ descriptions a few blocks away from the incident, Callisto said.
