The students told university police officers that they were running along Calvert Road Monday night when they were approached by a gunman who demanded property.

One of the students complied.

The gunman was joined by a second suspect and they both ran off. The victims ran to a nearby emergency call box and contacted police.

The University Of Maryland campus alert system issued a lookout for two black males, one of them wearing a black hoodie with the numbers “33” in white, and armed with a handgun.

The students were not injured.

The robbery has students in the community of homes and apartments feeling vulnerable.

Just last week, police arrested a 17-year-old suspect and charged him with a string of armed robberies against students in the same area. That suspect remains in custody.

Student Jack Sartory said, "Someone got armed robbed with a shotgun two weeks ago, and then last night on the same street, same exact corner."
