Authorities are exploring the possibility that three home invasions targeting Temple University students living in off-campus housing could be connected.

It's believed by police that 11 people - all between the ages of 20 and 22 - were asleep when the armed suspects entered the residence.

Temple University said the incident happened outside the university's patrol zone and a spokesperson highlighted the institution's Best Nest program, meant to help students find off-campus housing that is within the Temple University Police Department's designated patrol area. Jennifer Griffin saidMore than a week later, police say at least one Temple University student was among a group of four residents who were awoken by home invaders who trapped them all in the bathroom.

The suspects - one of whom was armed with an Uzi - stole a Glock 19, iPhones, Apple watches, an iPad and a MacBook Pro, according to police. During a Monday afternoon press conference, Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said police are exploring the possibility that all three robberies are connected.
