ARMED ROBBERY

On Wednesday, Oct. 23, at approximately 4:30 a.m., two individuals who identified themselves as Harvard students, approached and knocked on a first-floor window at Wigglesworth Hall, D entry way. A conversation started between the Wigglesworth resident in the room, who was awake studying at the time and the two individuals at the window. The resident gave a small amount of money to one of the individuals who had asked for assistance. Later, the individuals, one white male and one hispanic male, returned to the window again, this time, demanding more money. The white male suspect then produced a knife and threatened to produce a gun. The victim then gave additional money to the suspect. The suspects fled down Massachusetts Avenue toward Harvard Square. A thorough search of the area proved negative.
