Another college-aged person was robbed Wednesday evening in Duluth.
The robbery was the seventh of a college-age victim reported to police since September, and the third this week.
Investigators believe the same two suspects may be behind all of the robberies.
"One or two black males, black puffy jacket and one was wearing a black hoodie," Duluth Police Sgt. Leigh Wright said.
She said the one in the puffy jacket has been described by several victims as about 25 years old, about 180 pounds and between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall.
