A pair of teen boys have been arrested for a series of gunpoint robberies in recent weeks near the campus of Temple University.

Dashaun Harden, 17, has been implicated five incidents so far dating back to the night of May 14, police said. Other incidents happened on May 15, 19 and 20 and all took place on the western side of Temple University's campus in an area stretching between 15th and 19th Streets. He's been charged with Robbery, Theft, Terroristic Threats, Simple Assault and related offenses.

Another teen, 16-year-old Bryant Anthony, is charged in the first two incidents. He's been charged with Robbery, Criminal Conspiracy and related offenses.

In each case, a black handgun was pointed at the victims as the suspects demanded money, wallets and cellphones, according to detectives. None of the victims were hurt, however.
