The Auburn Police Division is investigating a robbery that occurred Sunday, Feb. 21, at approximately 3 a.m., according to an Auburn University Public Safety announcement.
The victim reports he was walking along Wire Road between Lem Morrison Drive and Shug Jordan Parkway when a small, light-color, four-door sedan carrying four subjects stopped near him. Two subjects got out, physically assaulted the victim and stole his wallet, while two subjects remained in the vehicle, the victim alleges. The victim describes all four subjects as black males, but was unable to give a more detailed description, according to the release.
