Police are seeking four men, three wearing black pants and black hoodies and another wearing a red shirt.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Radford University sent a voicemail alert regarding a Tyler Avenue armed robbery that occurred last night.

According to the alert, the robbery took place at 11:43 p.m. in the 500 block of Tyler Avenue. Police are seeking four men, three wearing black pants and black hoodies and another wearing a red shirt.

The men were last seen running west away from campus, according to the alert.

The Radford Police Department said Monday that the men allegedly knocked on the door of an apartment and entered, demanding money after the residents opened the door. One of the men flashed a handgun and demanded money from the four residents, and took a laptop before leaving, police said.

Police searched the area and weren't able to gain any leads. No other descriptions are available, and the case remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Radford police tip line at 540-731-5040, or send an email to investigations@radford.va.us.

No description of the suspects. Must have been wearing their Amish disguises.

It’s a good thing nobody resisted. It might have been a race crime.

That's why we used to call such parasites "hoodlums".

Every once in awhile I’ll listen to the police scanner at night for entertainment catching up on bookwork. I always get a kick out of the descriptions. “Was seen wearing a dark hoodie, dark pants, possibly jeans, and white tennis shoes.”

They’re probably safely back at their ‘crib’ in Pulaski by now.
