A robbery was reported in the 200 block of Varsity Lane on Sunday, according to the Bloomington Police Department.\nThe complainant, 19, reported that four males entered his residence during a party Jan. 20, BPD Sgt. Jeff Canada said, reading from a police report.\nAll guests at the party were asked to remove their shoes because new carpeting had recently been installed in the residence.\nWhen leaving, one of the four males, who was described as "short and stocky," discovered his shoes were missing. Another of the four males, described as "tall and slender," pulled up his hooded sweat shirt to reveal a black semi-automatic handgun. He told the complainant to "find his shoes or give me yours." The complainant gave him his $120 black and white Nike shoes.\nOn Sunday, one of the complainant's roommates was outside when he saw a man walking by. The man said, "You were the two bitches whose shoes we jacked last week." The man then pulled up his shirt to reveal a black semi-automatic handgun and said, "Come down here and I'll shoot your ass."\nThe complainant said he didn't report the crime when it first happened Jan. 20 because he was underage and had been drinking. The case is still under investigation, Canada said.
