University of California Berkeley Police are looking for three men connected to a robbery on campus that happened last week.

A 20-year-old woman was walking near lower Sproul Plaza at around 2:55 p.m. Wednesday, when she was approached by a man, who identified himself as "Kody," according to a U.C. police report.

Kody asked the woman if she wanted to buy a magazine subscription. When she declined, two more men accompanied Kody and the three began to threaten the woman, the report said.
