Blacksburg Police are investigating a robbery that took place on Falcun Drive near University City Boulevard Monday night at 9:30 p.m.
The 20-year-old victim, a Virginia Tech student whose name police would not release, was approached from behind by the suspect as he was about to enter his parked car.
The suspect placed an object believed to be a gun at the victim’s back and then proceeded to take the victim’s wallet, which contained an undisclosed amount of cash.
Although the suspect told the victim not to turn around, he turned around after the suspect was fleeing with the victim’s wallet.
The victim described the suspect as a male of medium build, about 6 feet 3 inches, weighing 170-190 pounds. He was wearing black pants, a black shirt and a mask.
The victim was not physically injured in the incident.
The investigation is ongoing.
