UNL Police Looking for More Suspects in Robbery Near Memorial Stadium
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Lincoln Crimestoppers at 402-479 -3600
University police are still working to track down several men involved in a strong armed robbery overnight.
UNL police say they think the attack happened on the west side of Memorial Stadium, near the foot bridge.
The victims are unfamiliar with the area and couldn't give police the exact location.
Officers say the victims were walking when a car pulled up and five or six males got out.
They surrounded the victims, beating one of them up, and taking their wallets, cell phone, and other personal items.
One of the victims was taken to the hospital, treated and released.
Later, police located two of the suspects, who were positively identified, at the U-Stop at 17th and Q.
Officers arrested two suspects for strong armed robbery: 22-year-old Robert Carodine of Omaha and 21-year-old Markese Johnson of Omaha.
They are lodged in the Lancaster County jail.
UNL police says the investigation is on-going and they hope to identify more suspects.
Neither the victims or suspects are students at UNL.
