Attempt Robbery

**Robbery report was delayed by victim**

On Monday, 4 April 2011 at approximately 2:50PM, an Upper Moreland High School student was walking home when a black four door car pulled alongside him near Lincoln and Grant. The vehicle had a black plastic garbage bag covering the passenger side rear vent window. The three black male occupants (late teens or early twenties) of the car demanded the student's money and backpack. The student was told that if he failed to cooperate he would be shot. No gun was seen by the student. When the student refused, the males fled.

The victim believed that the vehicle had a PA tag of HSS9896. That tag has been excluded as a possibility but it may have letters or numbers that are similar to what was reported by the victim.

If you see a vehicle fitting this description, IMMEDIATELY call 911.
