This incident is the latest in a series of armed robberies plaguing the Harvard area.
In a two-week period beginning Oct. 23, a first-year student was robbed through his Wigglesworth Hall dorm room window, and two undergraduates near the Quad and a McSweeney said he did not think Sunday's incident was related to other armed robberies in the Harvard area. Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III urged students to be mindful of their safety. "I would caution members of the community to be very careful when going out," Epps said. "It seems to be a group working in this area," Epps said. Epps said the Dean of Students Office has no immediate plans in response to this most recent robbery but that he has spoken with the Harvard Police about the incident. "I'm sure that [the Harvard Police] will make their presence known in the area," Epps said. Cabot House Co-Master Janice Ware said that she was unaware of the armed robbery involving a Cabot resident. "I did not know anything about it," Ware said
