"I work at the bar across the street so I'm back and forth in this area a lot at night so if people are getting robbed a lot than I would be a frequent target," said DU student Kevin Ritt.

The robbery occurred in the same area where five DU students were robbed in November. In those cases police say two men approached the students and one had a gun.

So far police have not said if the new report might be related to the earlier crimes.
