Laptop Robbery Reported At Berkeley Parking Garage

BERKELEY, CA — A person was robbed of his laptop Thursday night in a University of California at Berkeley parking garage, university police said Friday.

The victim told police that at about 9:45 p.m. he was walking in the Ellsworth Parking Structure when he touched the hood of a Toyota sedan.

Police said three men got out of the car and confronted him. One man pushed him against the vehicle and took his laptop from his backpack. All three men were in their early 20s and drove away in the Toyota, which was mint green in color, police said.

Several more robberies or attempted robberies have occurred in the UC Berkeley area in the last two weeks. Last week three robberies occurred over about four hours on Wednesday and Thursday. Two involved a gun. Then two more armed robberies occurred Thursday morning near campus.

City of Berkeley police said Thursday that it's too early to say whether the robberies last week and Thursday are related.
