Kent police are investigating another possible robbery that occurred Friday evening on Mulberry Court in the Holly Park apartment complex off East Main Street.
Kent police Lt. Jayme Cole said a 22-year-old male reported being held up at gunpoint. The suspect allegedly showed a handgun and made off with some of the victim’s property.
Cole would not say what was taken from the victim and had no other information, saying only that the incident is under investigation by Kent police detectives.
“The circumstances of this robbery do not indicate any kind of link with other reported robberies” over this past weekend, he said.
The suspect was described as a black male, between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall.
Friday’s incident brings to five the number of reported victims of robberies in the city and on the Kent State University campus over the weekend.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday morning, two KSU students reported being held at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Silver Oaks apartment complex off Loop Road and robbed by three suspects driving a gray, four-door Ford Contour.
Just after 3 a.m. Sunday morning, two more KSU students were robbed, this time on campus by four suspects in the area of the Art Building.
KSU police have arrested three KSU students and one juvenile, who is not a student, in connection with that incident.
