**INCIDENT**
On Friday, July 31, 2009 at approximately 9:30 p.m., a woman was robbed 
in the laundry room of Tang Hall (W84).

**SUSPECT DESCRIPTION **
The victim describes the suspect as follows: white male, 30's, with a 
beard, wearing a baseball hat, green t-shirt with unknown white 
lettering on it, tan shorts, and sneakers.

**SUMMARY**
The victim and suspect were waiting outside Tang Hall for someone to 
exit the building so they could enter because neither had card access 
for the building. When someone exited the building, the victim entered 
the building first and didn't notice the suspect follow her into the 
laundry room. The suspect struck the victim on the head and demanded her 
expensive things. The suspect fled the laundry room with the victims
