Second cellphone robbery in week at Western Washington University

For the second time in less than a week, a man snatched a cellphone from a woman’s hand on the Western Washington University campus and ran away.

The man approached two women at the bus stop outside Buchanan Towers at the south end of campus at about 1 a.m. Sunday, April 17, according to a university alert sent out around 3:15 a.m. Sunday. The women, both 18, were WWU students, said university spokesman Paul Cocke.
