Police investigating armed robbery on Carlisle Street

Temple Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred early Wednesday morning on the 2000 block of Carlisle Street.

Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said that at around 2:50 a.m. on Wednesday, two non-Temple affiliated males were walking on Carlisle Street when another male exited a car and displayed a black revolver handgun. Leone added that the suspect demanded the victims’ money and phones, took the items and then fled north on Carlisle Street.

Leone said police saw the suspect get into a silver Mercury sedan on Susquehanna Avenue, which then sped off. Police are reviewing camera footage of the incident, he added.

A TU Alert was sent out at around 3:20 a.m. Leone said no injuries were reported. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Temple Police at 215-204-1234.
