COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus police are investigating two separate reports of Ohio State students being robbed near campus on Friday.
The first robbery took place around noon near Iuka Park, according to a neighborhood safety notice from the university.
The student told police two unknown males tackled him and took off with his cell phone. Roughly an half an hour later, officers responded to reports of a second robbery near the 200 block of E. 15th Ave, just south of where the first incident was reported.
There, another Ohio State student told police three unknown males on bicycles stole his earbuds, then took off westbound through an alley.
No injuries were reported, and police say weapons were not used during either robbery. Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call Columbus police at 614-645-4545.
