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.

The school asked anyone with information to contact the Chicago Police Department or the University of Chicago Police Department at 123 from a university phone or at 773-702-8181 from other phones.
