Temple University students forced into basement at gunpoint, robbed of credit cards, phones, car in Philly

Two armed home invasion suspects in Philadelphia forced 11 Temple University students into the basement of their off-campus residence, robbed them, and fled the scene in a victim's vehicle.

Two armed Philadelphia home invasion suspects on Friday morning forced a group of 11 Temple University students living off-campus into their basement at gunpoint before robbing them, Philadelphia police said.

Two male suspects, described as Black males wearing masks and black hoodies, entered the property on the 1300 block of North 15th Street while the 11 students were sleeping inside — six of whom are residents, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia. 

The suspects, armed with handguns, awoke the students and forced them into the basement of the residence before stealing their credit cards, cell phones and the keys to a silver Lincoln MKZ with the license plate tag KMF-1560, according to the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD).

The suspects then fled the scene in the Lincoln and headed in an unknown direction.
