Victims urged to report crimes

A 21-year-old female reported that she was a victim of a robbery at about 2 a.m. Sunday to Bloomington Police. She said she was accosted by a man in an alley behind The Upstairs Pub.

According to the report, the female was walking westbound in an alley in the 400 block of East Kirkwood Avenue. As she passed a man who was walking in the opposite direction, he grabbed her hair and demanded she hand over her wallet.

After insisting she had nothing in her wallet, the suspect “shoved her face down in the alley,” according to the report.

The victim reported the incident at noon Sunday. She described the suspect as “a black male with a deep voice, 25 years old, six feet tall and 180 pounds.”

BPD’s Sgt. Jeff Canada urges crime victims to report incidents as soon as possible to increase the chances of an offender’s arrest.

The incident is still under investigation.
