Officers responded to the attempted armed robbery at CU Williams Village shortly after 2:30 a.m.

The suspects were described as being between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9 and appeared to be Hispanic. They were wearing black hoodies and had black bandanas on their faces. 

Williams Village is just southeast of the main CU Boulder campus. This portion of campus includes residence halls. 

Anyone with information that might be helpful to the investigation can call CU Boulder Police Detective Kevin Brough at 303-492-4469 and reference case number 2023-0800.
