The community around Rutgers
University is on alert for the third weekend in a row after
police say there was a home invasion robbery overnight.
The incident happened on
Guilden Street in New Brunswick.
Authorities say that two
people broke into the house, robbed the occupants, and
left. At least one of the suspects was armed with a gun, according to officials. Police have not stated if the victims
are students or staff at the university.
Police say
three
men robbed another man at gunpoint
last weekend near Richardson and Wyckoff streets. The men reportedly left the scene
with high-value items. The victim was affiliated with the university, but it is
unclear how.
Police also say
two people were
killed two weekends ago in a shooting just blocks from campus. There are
still no arrests in that shooting, which was caught on video. The victims were
Lionel Macauley, of Somerset, and Anthony Robinson, of New Brunswick. Nine
people in total were shot that night.
