PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia police say two Drexel University basketball players and a third man are facing charges after an armed robbery at a student’s apartment.
Lt. John Walker says 21-year-old Jamie Harris and 21-year-old Kevin Phillip turned themselves in Monday on robbery and weapons charges and other counts.
Police say the robbery happened at a woman’s apartment around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. Walker says 21-year-old Devon Bond was arrested Thursday.
Walker says the men went in looking for money but found none. They allegedly left with two cell phones.
Harris is Drexel’s starting point guard, and Phillip is a backup forward.
Harris’ attorney did not immediately answer a message seeking comment; an attorney for Phillip declined to comment. A telephone listing for Bond could not be found.
