Assault, robbery reported on 17th Street

One 18-year-old male and another male, whose age is unknown, were reportedly walking down East 17th Street by the corner of Washington Street 3 a.m. Thursday when they heard someone yell at them to keep walking, Bloomington police said.

They continued walking home to their residence, which is an IU dormitory, Sgt. Joe Crider said, but were soon assaulted by a group of men. One of the men rifled through a victim’s pocket and stole his iPhone 5 and an undisclosed amount of cash, Crider said.

Officers later located suspects Caleb Ikerd and Ambrose Volz, who were arrested and remanded for a level two felony robbery and misdemeanor battery, according to Thursday’s jail management booking list provided by the ?department.

Whether there are more suspects or not is unknown at this time, Crider said. Victims received bruises and scrapes, but neither received further treatment.
