Two students from Clark Atlanta University were robbed at gunpoint near campus early Wednesday.
Atlanta police told Channel 2 Action News the students were walking on Parsons Street in southwest Atlanta around 1 a.m. when they were accosted by two gunmen. The robbers took $40 in cash, a debit card, a Social Security card and student IDs, police said. The students, a man and a woman, were not hurt. Their names were not released.
Police continue to search for the robbers.
A statement from the university advised students to exercise caution, on and off campus.
"Our campus police department routinely, systematically counsels students to exercise safety and caution and to be aware of their surroundings on and while away from campus," said spokeswoman Donna Brock. "This incident happened away from the campus complex near a local food establishment. We are nonetheless relieved that the students were not wounded during the robbery."
