While walking towards campus on Bateman Street, the students were approached by six unknown male subjects that exited a silver Ford. The subjects displayed three guns and demanded money.

Salisbury Police and University Police searched the area without locating the subjects.
If you have any information regarding this case, contact University Police at 410-543-6222, Salisbury Police at 410-548-3165 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.
Please read the following crime prevention tips. Also, report any suspicious activity or persons immediately to the police. If possible, use a cellular phone to call 911 while maintaining visual observation of the subject(s).
The use of electronic devices with headphones is not recommended in situations where you could be a target for street robbery. You are your own best protection and must be able to see/hear all nearby activity.
Street Robbery Tips:
- Try to remain calm. Do not resist. Consider the robber dangerous.
- In most cases, the robber only wants your valuables/money and is not there to hurt you.
- Assume the robber is armed, even if you don't see a weapon.
- If a weapon is displayed, consider it to be real and loaded. Don't stare at it.
- Do only what the robber tells you. If you don't understand, tell the robber.
- Attempt to get a good, complete description of the robber.
- Your main goal is to survive!
- Don't fight back! The most effective self defense measures include running away, hiding and screaming. More people will respond to someone yelling "FIRE" than "HELP".
- Remember--your money can be replaced, your life can't.
