Robber on the loose
Black Derby Liquor Store in 2311 Ripley Way was robbed tonight at 7:12. Suspect eluded the police, who arrived on scene at 7:19 p.m.
According to Seve Bellinos the clerk on duty, the robber was about 6 feet tall and weighed 155 pounds. "He wore blue jeans and a dirty white T-shirt with a torn right sleeve," he said.
Because firearms were involved, Police Chief Antonio Grasso said a routine investigation of the incident would be made by the Police Internal Security Squad.
Responding to the triggered silent alarm, an officer who arrived at the scene shouted a warning and fired a shot at the fleeting suspect.
"The guy ran so fast he looked like a track star," said eye witness John Paul Reinicke.
Rape on Campus
Female student victim, 19, was raped on campus on her way back to her dorm.
The rapist according to the victim was a man 6 feet and 4 inches tall, 210 pounds, athletically built, with blond hair, blue eyes and a scar on the left side of his neck.
Suspect is on the loose.
The victim told police that she was threatened with a knife. Police said her description was similar to that given by two other victims of rapes in the campus area in the past six months.
Police Chief Grasso said he is forming a rape task force composed of police, rape crisis center officials and others to determine what can be done about the series of rapes.
College officials say they will install emergency telephone lines in outdoor areas around the campus and review street lighting in the area.
