Cops: Temple students bound, robbed during home invasion
Police are searching for three men who allegedly bound a group of Temple University students during a home invasion robbery.
The incident was reported at 7:30 p.m. at an off-campus residence on North 18th Street near Berks. Police said a female student was walking home and was followed by three black males, two of which were armed. The males allegedly forced the woman inside her second-floor apartment.
The woman and three female roommates who were inside the apartment were duct taped, police said. The robbers took off with computer equipment, cell phones, an uknown amount of cash and numerous credit cards. The victims were not harmed.
The university sent an advisory to students notifying them of the incident at 9:14 p.m. The advisory urged students to use caution in the area and "take advantage of TUr Door and other forms of transportation."
No arrests have been made.
The victims were not PHYSICALLY harmed.— johnnycola-1.jpg)
Freud should analyze this one. This is bondage. That is very serious when it involves children. The authorities must be idiots not to see through this for what it actually could be.- would never have anyone live off campus at Temple.....just asking to be assaulted and/or robbed..— Bigbirch
- Bigbirch- is that also your opinion about rape? — gb
- Thugs. Absolute degenerate trash. They don't deserve to live if they can't act like human beings. What a shocker.— hawkfan722
- The sicko elementary school Janitor story is the same as this.
They could have went anywhere but they went to Temple.— TimmyDay- The university isn't the problem. It's a great place. It's the degenerate racist neighbors who prey upon students of all races and religions and rob them. That's a statement of fact. Look at the numbers. — hawkfan722
- But that racist SOB Darrell Clarke will tell you that Temple students are the problem. Meanwhile, people in his neighborhood are acting like animals and that can't be disputed in this situation. Do something about it, Clarke!— hawkfan722
- LMAO. What was that controversial Philadelphia Magazine article about?— fire fighter
- Memo to degenerate thugs in Philadelphia: if you want to be a real man, go to school and make something of your life. Racism won't end if you keep acting like animals.— hawkfan722
- Had to be white on white crime,,,!!!— Markitup
- Horrific. Sadly, North Philadelphia remains one of the most dangerous parts of a city which had the highest per capita murder rate of major cities in 2011. Temple tries so hard to market academics and sports, but this stuff is damaging to those efforts.— TR3
- Make it a gated community, that's the only answer
Acres of diamonds... LOL— Markitup - Temple should bypass the local community groups and keep bulldozing north to their hospital, east to Fishtown, and south to Center city.— Anthony Palmer
