UPDATE: Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said in an email that the suspect who was apprehended for Thursday’s incidents is 23-year-old Kareem Clancy, who is being charged with two counts of robbery.

Temple Police have apprehended a suspect in connection with two Thursday robberies.

According to a  TU Alert, the first robbery took place around 10:45 a.m. in the 1600 block of French Street, between Susquehanna Avenue and Diamond Street.

Charlie Leone, executive director of Campus Safety Services, said in an email that the suspect was armed with a gun and approached a male Temple student. The suspect took the student’s backpack, which contained his cell phone and wallet. There were no injuries.

A Temple Police officer apprehended the suspect shortly after the second robbery of another student, which occurred at Carlisle and Jefferson streets shortly after the first, Leone said.

A TU Alert sent out around 2 p.m. indicated that the suspect had been apprehended.

Leone said the suspect was found with property from both complainants, and had attempted to discard a pellet gun, which Leone said the suspect disguised to appear as a real pistol.

The suspect will be charged with both robberies, Leone said. His name will be released when he is formally charged.

Police are still searching for another suspect in connection with a robbery which took place around 7:40 p.m. Wednesday, when a male student was robbed near 18th and Arlington streets.

Two men had approached a student in that robbery, Leone said, one of them displaying a handgun.

The student in that incident surrendered his phone and wallet, but was not injured. The suspects then fled on foot east on Arlington Street, toward 17th Street.
