Security Notice – Strong-arm Robbery reported in the Logan Neighborhood 

A Gonzaga student reported this afternoon that sometime between midnight and 1:00 AM this morning (September 20) while walking alone in the 500 or 600 block of East Augusta, he was knocked to the ground and punched by two male subjects. One of the subjects removed his wallet from his back pocket, took the cash out, and returned the wallet. They then fled on foot. The student did not contact the Spokane Police Department (SPD) or GU Security at the time. Two GU-contracted Spokane Police Department patrol units were on duty in the neighborhood at the time of the incident. The subjects were described as white males in their 20’s of average height and build, wearing hoodies (worn down). GU Security strongly encouraged the student to report this to the SPD. 

Gonzaga community members are reminded of the following safety tips: 

• If you have to walk, do so in groups especially after dark. Try to use well-lit, busy routes. Be aware of your surroundings.
• Utilize Saferide if you need a ride back to your residence from an off-campus location: call 568-8000.
• Utilize Security escorts to travel across campus: 313-2222.
• Report suspicious persons or circumstances immediately to GU Security (313-2222) or SPD (911).

A Gonzaga student reported that at about 11:00 PM last night (September 19) a male subject followed him from Safeway, attempting to engage him in conversation. Near the corner of Hamilton and Sinto, the subject showed the student what appeared to be the butt of a handgun concealed in a small bag and asked him for his wallet.  The student (very wisely) gave the subject his wallet and the subject left the area.  Spokane Police Department officers responded and searched the area, but did not locate the subject. The subject was described as a male in his 20’s of average height and thin build, with a dark complexion, wearing baggy clothing and tennis shoes. He was carrying a cloth-type satchel with pull-strings.
