One man has been arrested and two others are being sought in a break-in robbery at a rowhouse that is home to five Temple University students.

No injuries were reported in the incident 9:30 p.m. Sunday on the 1500 block of Page Street, a block from Temple's North Philadelphia campus.

Police said three masked men entered through the unlocked front door and robbed the residents at gunpoint, fleeing with some marijuana, cash and cell phones.

One man was later arrested about a block away, police said without providing additional details.

It is not clear yet if the bandits targeted the students or if the robbery was random.
