CLEVELAND — Case Western Reserve University advised students and staff to “stay alert and in place” after being alerted that two males and one female robbed a man at gunpoint near the Cedar-University RTA station, the university announced on Facebook Tuesday.
At approximately 5:31 a.m., the university issued a warning after a robbery on campus was reported to police.
A male, unaffiliated with the university, allegedly was robbed at gunpoint at Martin Luther Ling Jr. Drive and Euclid Avenue by three people.
CWRU, University Circle and Cleveland police canvassed the area for the robbers, who were seen in the area of Wade Lagoon after the robbery.
