District 1 officers responded to a Hold Up-Just Occurred in the 4100 block of Walsh around 1:30 p.m. on November 29.
A 19-year-old man told officers he went inside of a home in the block with a male acquaintance and another man he does not know, to buy marijuana.
Once inside the home the 19-year-old was struck by a man and knocked to the ground where he was assaulted by several males. The males took the man’s backpack, which contained cash, his phone, and other personal items.
The man was able to run out of the back of the residence and borrow someone’s cell phone to call 911.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the South Patrol Division at 314-444-0100 for a District One detective. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous and/or is interested in a possible reward can call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
