Police investigating report of a strong-arm robbery near KU campus

A Sunday night robbery near the Kansas University campus is under investigation, police said.

At 11:06 p.m., police responded to the intersection of Ninth and Missouri streets — several blocks north of Memorial Stadium — for a report of a strong-arm robbery, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs. Six officers responded to the scene.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Laurie Powell said someone reported that his or her property was stolen through the use of “physical force.” She did not provide any description of the suspect or the reporting party, nor did she immediately respond to an inquiry asking for more information.

No weapons were displayed during the incident, Powell said. Police are still investigating what items were reportedly stolen.
