The three students were walking on the sidewalk when four or five armed people got out of a white Alfa Romeo SUV, the school said. The suspects demanded and took property from the victims before fleeing southbound on Dorchester in the SUV.

The school said the SUV did not have any license plates.

No injuries were reported, and the University of Chicago Police Department is investigating.
