The Champaign Police Department is investigating an armed robbery that occurred Thursday at around 6:30 p.m.

The victim was returning to his apartment at 510 E. Stoughton St. when two males approached him, according to a press release from University police. One suspect placed his hand over the victim’s mouth and placed a pistol against the victim’s ribcage. The suspect then told the victim to empty his pockets and grabbed the victim’s backpack.
