It was certainly a bad Thursday morning for a 22-year old man who claimed that he was robbed twice within half an hour span in Iowa City.

According to the authorities, the unnamed victim was first approached by group of six men who was asking for cigarettes. The victim recounted that he was attacked by these men and took all of his cigarettes.

In a little while, the victim was attacked from behind in a deserted alley by a group of five men. This time, he was knocked down pretty badly and that his watch was taken by the suspects.

The police officers were a bit skeptical with the alleged victim’s story because there were no visible injuries on his body that would have been consistent with the beating he claimed that he got. However, the authorities observed that the complainant had a “dirty appearance” which could be attributed to having laid down on a damp group. The investigation is ongoing.
