For the fourth time this year, Atlanta police are investigating an armed robbery of a Georgia Tech student.
According to Channel 2 Action News, a robber took money and a backpack from the student early Thursday in the 1200 block of State Street.
Since Jan. 24, eight other Tech students have been robbed at gunpoint in three additional incidents.
In the first one, two students were forced to hand over their car, apartment keys and other personal items to two armed robbers as they walked along the 400 block of 16th Street, police said.
Days later, five Tech students, all in their 20s, were walking on 11th Street and and Atlantic Drive when two men came behind them with handguns and told them to give up their stuff, police said.
