Temple U. Student, Victim of Overnight Robbery, Charged With Drug Possession
By Molly Daly
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Another arrest has been made in connection with last night's home invasion and robbery near the Temple campus -- but it wasn't a suspect in the robbery.
Police quickly arrested one of the suspects in the robbery, in which three masked men burst into the house in the 1500 block of Page Street through an unlocked front door about 9pm and robbed five Temple University students. The robbers got away with an unspecified amount of money, cell phones, and drugs (see previous story).
It was the drugs that led to the arrest of one of the residents of the house, on drug charges. It's believed that the presence of drugs in the house may explain why it was targeted.
One of the robbery suspects was nabbed a few blocks away. Two others are still at large. No one was hurt in the incident.
