Drexel Basketball Players Try to Rob Co-Ed: Police

Two members of Drexel University's men's basketball team were expected to turn themselves into police Monday for their alleged role in a home invasion robbery.

The crime happened last week along the 35-hundred block of Lancaster Avenue.

Gunmen demanded cash from a woman at her home and that woman was a co-ed, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Reporter David Gambacorta writes:

Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, two Drexel University basketball players, stormed into a female Drexel student's apartment on Wednesday night brandishing guns, expecting to score a big stash of cash, police said. But the plan kind of fell apart -- the young woman didn't have any money -- so Harris and Phillip grabbed her iPhone and took off, police said. Their getaway was caught on tape.

A third suspect has already been arrested in this case.
