A female Sacramento State student was robbed on the sixth floor of Parking Structure III on campus yesterday, police said.

Two men on bicycles approached the victim between 2:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. and forcibly took the student’s laptop computer. The student was not injured during the robbery.

One suspect, Adam Downs, 28, was arrested by campus police shortly afterward and identified as one of the men involved in the robbery by the victim. He was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail. He was being held on charges of felony robbery, conspiracy, and for violating his parole. Records showed he had an outstanding warrant from the West Sacramento Police Department.

The other suspect is still at large. He is described as a man in his late 20s with short brown hair, an unshaven face, and was wearing a gray or brown sleeveless shirt and shorts while riding a black bicycle.

Police are asking that anyone with information about the incident contact them at (916) 278-6851, e-mail [email protected] or visit the public counter in the Public Safety Building.
