Suspects caught after McCollum robbery

Two suspects were apprehended by KU Public Safety officers after two robberies on Thursday night at McCollum Hall, Capt. Mark Witt said.

The incident occurred shortly after 10:15 p.m. Witt said one of the robberies was an aggravated robbery with the possibility of a hammer involved.

Witt said when the two suspects saw police arrive at McCollum Hall, they fled the scene in a car and crashed near the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. One suspect was apprehended at the scene of the collision, and the other suspect fled on foot before being caught by KU Public Safety officers.

“We’re still trying to sort everything out,” Witt said.
