An Elon student reported to town police that he was held up at knifepoint and robbed early Friday morning at the intersection of Trollinger and Church Street, according to a university-wide email sent by Elon Dean of Students Smith Jackson.
The student was walking on West Trollinger around 12:30 a.m., two blocks west of campus. Three men, one of whom was carrying a knife, approached him. The student gave the men his wallet and the suspects left in a tan colored, mid-to-late 90’s model Toyota Corolla.
According to a report by the Burlington Times-News, the three suspects are described as black men with heights of 6 feet 4 inches, 6 feet and 5 feet 10 or 11 inches. They were reportedly wearing blue jeans and t-shirts during the robbery.
Anyone with information on the suspects’ identities is asked to contact Town of Elon Police Lt. Mark Sweat at 336-584-1301.
