Updated: Later Reports Show Robbery of SHU Students at Another Location

According to a Pirate Alert email, sent to the entire university community, two Seton Hall students were robbed at gunpoint on Thursday night. 

The South Orange police blotter confirms the report. 

However, earlier reports suggesting that the robbery took place at Wilden Place, as students approached the Wilden Place campus gates, have been updated, according to The Setonian, which has an updated report here. 

Initial reports said that, at approximately 11:53 p.m., according to South Orange police, two students were robbed at gunpoint on Wilden Place as they approached the Wilden Place entrance gate to the campus.

In the SHU email, the first suspect was described as a "black male with a beard, 6 feet tall, late teens, wearing a grey hoodie with stripes, armed with a black handgun." The email described the second suspect as a "black male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, late teens, wearing a dark hoodie."

The police blotter reports that "the victims stated that the taller actor pointed a handgun at the victims and demanded their property while the shorter actor went through the victims' jackets. After the actors removed the victims' property, which included their cell phones, they fled the area on foot east on Wilden Pl. toward the city of Newark."

The email warned the university community to avoid the area. 

There were no reported injuries, and the police are investigating. 

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
