A female Ohio State student returned home expecting the door to be unlocked. However, the door was locked and she could not gain entry to her apartment. At that time, an unknown male exited the apartment attempting to steal some of her belongings. When confronted, the suspect pointed a gun at the student and demanded her cell phone before fleeing in an unknown direction. No injuries were reported.\nSuspect details are limited. Anyone with information related to this crime is encouraged to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-4545.\nCrimes are never the fault of the victim.",
