Posted at 8:20 a.m., September 13, 2016: At approximately 10:30 p.m. last night (Sept. 12) the College experienced an armed robbery in parking lot Fawell D. Two males came from north of Fawell Blvd. into the lot and displayed a handgun in order to obtain a female student’s purse and backpack. They fled on foot north across Fawell Blvd. An officer pursued but lost them in an adjacent apartment building. Neighboring local law enforcement, including a canine officer assisted in a subsequent search, but no suspects were located. COD and other local law enforcement continue to investigate.
COD Police will have extra evening patrols going forward, and we have requested extra patrols from Glen Ellyn Police.
