Police seeking suspects

A 20-year-old Lawrence woman was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning.

The woman was not harmed in the incident.

About 4:16 a.m. Saturday, Lawrence police received a call that a woman had been robbed. The call came from the victim’s neighbor, who heard the scuffle outside the resident’s door.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Susan Hadl said the victim was returning home from work and about to enter her residence at Meadowbrook Apartments, 101 Windsor Place, when she was approached by an Asian male. Moments later the man was joined by two other Asian males, all dressed in dark clothing. The first man threw the woman to the ground and held a gun to her head. He then proceeded to take things from the woman’s purse.

The three men then took off running from the area. The victim chased the men while screaming, hoping to attract enough attention to get some help.

The suspects were last seen running east through the Meadowbrook apartment complex.

None of the woman’s belongings were recovered.

Sgt. Richard Nickell of the Lawrence Police Dept. said that as of Saturday evening, no arrests had been made in the case.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crimestoppers, at 843-8477 (TIPS).
