Three University of Chicago students were robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning in Hyde Park, according to the school’s police department.

Four to five unknown suspects, all carrying guns, got out of a white Alfa Romeo SUV and approached the three students who were walking on a sidewalk near 5800 South Dorchester Avenue at 5:15 a.m., police said.

The gunmen demanded and took property from the students before returning to their vehicle and driving southbound on Dorchester Avenue, police said. The vehicle didn’t have license plates, police added.

No physical injuries were reported, and U. of C. police are investigating the robbery.
