Cell phone robbery reported near Stadium Parking Garage

A student was robbed of his cell phone at approximately 4:50 p.m. Wednesday on 3401 Cullen Dr., near the Stadium Parking Garage.

The student reported that she was approached from behind, before having her cell phone taken from out of her hand. She took it back and was then grabbed by the waist as she fought for the phone. The two suspects, both teenage black males and unarmed, then fled from the scene with the phone. The suspects were both approximately 5’9”, with short hair and a thin builds. One was described as wearing a red T-shirt, with the other in a grey T-shirt. The student was unharmed.

With the rash of cell phone robberies at the University, UH Police Chief Ceaser Moore warns students to be careful of phone theft.

“We want the campus to be aware that thieves are targeting cell phones,” Moore said.

“Keep phones tucked away and out of sight when not in use. I also urge people to report any suspicious people or activity to the police.”
