This is not the only incident; there were others. http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/40beb374eea05?in_archive=1 This was sent to me on 5/28: "We want to make you aware of an incident that happened yesterday. A female medical student was robbed at gunpoint at approximately 3:30 pm at 41st and Spruce Streets. We are obviously concerned about this incident and are working with the Penn police. They have increased patrols around the campus and although the police have a description of the two perpetrators, they have not yet been caught." Here are the details: June 8 -- A female unaffiliated with the University was approached by a male, who threatened her with a silver handgun and demanded her pocketbook at about 1:03 p.m. on the 4200 block of Spruce St. University Police responded and arrested the suspect immediately. The suspect was also charged with possession of crack cocaine later in the day at about 8:41 p.m. And, since UC has had several home building related thefts recently, this: June 3-7 -- An unknown person took two paint sprayers, worth a combined total of about $1,800, from the construction site at the Franklin Building Annex at 125 S. 36th St. In a similar incident, a coffee pot and a microwave, together worth about $180, were taken over the same time period from a different office at the site. June 6 -- An unknown person removed approximately 3,000 lbs. of copper flashing worth about $20,000 from the construction site surrounding the University Museum at 3200 South St. The incident was reported at about 6:45 a.m. - John On Thu, 10 Jun 2004, Elizabeth Edgerton wrote: > > > >It's my understanding on Tuesday at noon on 42nd and Spruce a woman was held > >up at gun point and robbed.
