Women Robbed, Groped In Broad Ripple
Police Remind Revelers To Carry Only Bare Essentials

POSTED: 7:19 am EDT June 2, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS –– Thieves are roaming the streets in Broad Ripple, targeting unsuspecting revelers in one of the city's most popular nightspots.

Jennifer Burt and her friend, Heather Grubar, were walking home, a couple of blocks away, at about 2 a.m. on Monday, 6News' Rick Hightower reported.

They had walked about a block and had stopped to talk to a friend when two gunmen approached.

"They said, 'Get down. Do what we say, or we're going to kill you,'" Burt said. "Immediately, I got on the ground … and my friend, Heather, got a pistol over the head."

The robbers took iPhones, credit cards, purses, Burt's passport and about $1,000 cash from the three victims. Police said there is no good reason to carry that much cash.

"Carry the bare essentials, a little bit of cash, a credit card, a driver's license," said Indianapolis police Sgt. Paul Thompson. "A cell phone is OK, but a passport is very difficult to replace."

The suspects said they were humiliated even more when the suspects groped them while on the ground.

"They wanted to get it done as fast as possible, but it's almost like they went out of their way to do that just to be jerks," Burt said.

The women said the bad experience won't keep them from going back to Broad Ripple, but they won't carry as much money and belongings.

Police are looking for the suspects, both black males and both with silver-plated pistols.

That's cool they give race in a description there. In my city they will only if it is a murder.

Ah right, "it was like they went out of their way to be jerks" with the groping.

They weren't jerks for robbing your shit or anything.

Everywhere I look I see victims, completely unwilling to do anything other than lay down on the ground

"jerks" ... not criminals, or savages, or bastards, they were "jerks".

Happens all the time all over the city including Broad Ripple. People are stupid and have no concept of their surroundings.

BTW, I live just down the road from the bar strip. I've never had any problems. If you stay to the north and east parts of the village its generally not too bad. Heading south is when it gets a little more hairy, but its not west 38th by any means.

beat me to it. Yes, these guys were "jerks" for pulling guns, groping and possibly having a gun go off and kill one of them. "Jerks" they are.

I go to Cracker''s a few times a year, with trips to a few of the open front bars beforehand. This is actually the first time I've heard of a crime happening specifically in BR, as I don't read Indy news much. Generally very safe city though, I'd say.

Pretty sure some girl was raped behind the Vogue last year and the Indy Red Star made a big deal out of it. No place in this world is safe anymore, to think so is insane.

Oh, I totally understand. I carry everywhere anyway. My point is that for its size Indy still seems fairly safe as far as violent crime goes (I see yours too)

I seems that the police need to think about tracking cell phones when this type

of thing happens. I would think that they would be able to get the location of the

phone in minutes with help from the cell carrier. That could most certainly lead

to the thugs that did the crime.

Around here if they don't mention race the perpatraitor was black. They don't mention race very often...

The whole violenty assaulted with a firearm, sexually assaulted and probably within a hair of being raped goes right over their heads.

That's a lot of cash to be walking around town at 2am with.

I'm just gonna throw the word "hooker" out on the table and see who throws it against the wall.

I wonder if the dingies will be back clubbin in the area soon, since really it was no big deal - just some jerks.

Why are we surprised when a sheep acts like a sheep in a shtf situation like the one in this thread?

Its like blaming the sun for being hot and shiny. A sheep will always just meekly submit, lay down and pleat, "bahhh-baaaaah" while whatever happens to them.

I was in BR on friday and noticed how quickly the surroundings get a little scary as you walk away from the bars. I never park more then a street or two away from crackers when we head down that way.
