Special Report: GW Crime Alerts

A recent Crime Alert reported eight sexual assaults at GW.  Some of these incidents did not in fact occur on campus, but were reported to someone on campus that is considered to be a reporting entity by the Federal Government. These campus administrators are required to report cases such as these to UPD.

The cases that occurred on campus took place at International House on the Foggy Bottom campus and Hensley Hall on the Mount Vernon campus. The incident at I House was an acquaintance sexual assault that occurred between two non-GW affiliated individuals who were visiting friends at GW when the incident occurred. The case occurred on September 15th and has been closed and referred to Metro Police for investigation. The Hensley Hall case involved a sexual assault between two GW students who were acquaintances. The case occurred on September 26th and has been closed.

The Foggy Bottom Grocery Store located on the 2100 block of F Street was robbed at gunpoint this past Friday, October 10th at approximately 1 PM. Staff reported that the subject entered the store and produced a handgun and demanded money. He fled soon after. The subject is described as a black male, six feet tall with a slim build. He was wearing a bandana over his face during the robbery. If you have any information, please contact Detective Andy Way from the Second District Detective Office (that’s Metro Police) at 202-730-1903.
