A 17-year-old male suspect was arrested at his home blocks from campus Nov. 9 and has confessed to three robberies of Drexel students, according to Drexel University's Department of Public Safety.
Philadelphia Police detectives served a search warrant at the suspect's home and found identification cards of the robbery victims and a glue gun made to look like a real gun, according to DPS officials.
The suspect has been charged with three counts of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, violation of the uniform firearms acts, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Because the suspect is a juvenile, his name was not released and his current status could not be determined as of Monday night.
The suspect was arrested in connection with crimes at 36 and Baring Street, 32 and Haverford and 3400 Spring Garden Street according to Drexel Public Safety.
The suspect was arrested at the 600 block of North 35th Street, a short distance from the reported robberies.
Drexel officials referred questions about the nature of the warrant and the specifics of the case to Lt. John Walker of the Southwest Detectives, who could not be reached for comment as of Monday night.
Sources have said the suspect arrested could be the ringleader of a group of teens responsible for robbing Drexel students.

I used to live on the 600 block of North 35th Street. This must have been one of my neighbors... (thankfully I was never robbed or assaulted)

Kill 'em all my heart says
And my finger glady replies
And puts a 5.56 or a 7.62
Right in between their eyes
Fuck 'em
