In the image above, I’m holding a paper that warns of a strong arm robbery from ECU security (see below). The sign says, “I LOVE YOUR LOVE,” which is in reference to the irony of supporting our ECU football team, the Pirates, coupled with the historical connotation of a pirate, and our contemporary version of a pirate through Johnny Depp in The Pirates of the Caribbean.

Message from ECU security:

An ECU student reported that at approximately 2:00 am on February 24th, he was the victim of a Strong Arm Robbery near the north side of Mendenhall.  The victim reported that he was assaulted and personal items were taken from his person.  The victim described one of the suspects as a black male, approximately 6’5” in height, weighing approximately 250 pounds, and being approximately 30 years old.  He was reported to be wearing baggy style jeans, a white shirt, black Timberland boots, and having shoulder length dreadlocks.  The victim further reported that there were three to four additional suspects, but no further detailed description is available.  Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the ECU Police Department at 328-6787.  Information can also be provided through the ECU Police website at www.ecu.edu/police.

Students, Staff and Faculty are reminded to avoid walking alone at night and to avoid areas with poor lighting.  Be mindful of your surroundings at all times and report suspicious persons or activity as soon as possible.
