Two Ohio State students reported that they were walking through the alley when four male suspects got out of a parked car and approached them. One suspect pointed a gun and demanded that the victims hand over their belongings. The four suspects stole wallets and cell phones before returning to their vehicle and fleeing northbound. No injuries were reported.\nSuspect details are limited, but the car they used to commit the crime is described as a dark gray Honda Civic. 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.",
