Search for suspect continues

By Nicholas Alajakis

University Police still are looking for a male suspect believed responsible for an armed robbery last Monday at Faraday East.

The department has gathered some physical evidence, and the case is still under investigation, said Sgt. Matthew Kiederlen. However, there currently are no suspects.

According to reports, the victim (an NIU student) was followed into a second-story bathroom by a white male described as about six-feet tall and 180 pounds, wearing jeans and a camouflage-type jacket. The suspect then displayed a handgun and took money from the victim before running away.

The victim wasn’t hurt, Kiederlen said. He also said no witnesses have come forward yet.

The department asks that anyone with any information on this crime call the NIU TipLine at 753-TIPS or call University Police at 753-1212
